have a squeeling belt of some kind, seems like an auxiliary belt but don't know which, have ordered new belts but was wondering worst case scenario if either or both snapped during driving ?

anyone had one snap on them before??

Yup, scary s&%t when it's attached to a supercharger and makes a mess under the bonnet. Worst case scenario wraps around your crank pulley and does some damage. Most likely you would loose ac, alternator and power steering. Have a search it's not hard to tighten the belts.

I had the alternator belt go on a trackday and didnt actually realise ........ until I tried to drive home the next day and battery died, leaving me somewhat stranded.

 

If the belt is actually going to break you can usually smell the burning rubber, but Id definitely get it sorted ASAP, while PAS and AC arent a problem, alternator is.
