Surveyor Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Guys I have checked alignment of the fan belts and can find that they are in alignment, the fan belt is fraom a reputable manufacturer.

Crank pulley possibly as you can't see it well and might have gone unnoticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 The tensioner wheel can stick and rip the belt, seen this on a couple. The centre bearing wears and wobbles slightly at speed. Also check water pump for wobble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
