Feakins Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Just left the girlfriends and when I started it heard a loud squeek which I have heard before jsut after starting up and then all the lights came on. Upon inspection the fan belt hasn't snapped its just come off, however there is a large silver disc that has come off which possibly turned something or held it on??? It is the disc right in the centre. Is it safe to drive without the fan belt, there is an oil light on does that mean oil pressure??? Can any mechanic get this silver disc back on?? On the plus side someone walking passed did say how he looked at the motor every time he walked passed and loved it. lol. Thanks for any help.

Jake Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 No! Don't drive it. Without the fan belt the water pump will not work. Can you take a photo so we can see what's happened? Sheared crank pulley is the favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 sounds like the cam pully dude hapend to me last month its about £270 for a new pully and round £90 to fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Called out greenflag so there on their way..won't be able to get a picture up til tomorrow. It is a metal disc that just looks like all the others, I think its like a big ring and its come off the circular thing in the middle. Dunno where to get them to tow it too, my house or the citroen specialist I used to go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feakins Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 IS the crank pulley the one that comes from the engine that turns the belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Lol jsut read the description from the above link. Theres a picture too if you click on it. And yes im pretty sure thats it. Would it come apart like that tho? Can any garage do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Sounds like the crank pulley, yes they do fall apart eventually, the rubber bonding between the centre and the ourter ring deteriorates and it falls apart. Lucky you weren't doing any speed, they can easily destroy your rad and other bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 No Daston, that was your crank pulley. Yeah thats what I ment too much Cider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Thanks for the help looks like that was bang on it, the outer ring has come off the crank pulley. Biggest cowboy of a recovery man, felt like he had to prove something to me. First, "how much was it, 6k?" and "yeah i used to have one imported loads myself a nissa scara and an evo 8 or was it 7 or maybe 6?" . Rekoned he used to have one similar he got himself for 4k.
