Oh no, it has happened again. My '83 2.0 has snapped another fan belt... I am crestfallen.
I last documented my fanbelt woes in my April 2016 Porsche Post 924 section I wrote: "the 924 has rubber bushes on the alternator, and secondly there are two sizes of fan belt listed for our cars – the sizes being 10 x 888mm and 10 x 900mm, why this should be so is unclear, maybe it is to compensate for extra electrical equipment on some cars"
But there must be something more, there MUST be more stress being put on the belt than normal. At the time I was only a couple of miles from home and had the rear demister on, but no headlights and there was no squealing or other warnings from the belt (10 x 888mm). I need my car to be more reliable. Any ideas people?
