OK updatePicked up the i30 this morning and within 8 kms started a tucking noise. Noticed the new accessory belt had frayed on one side. Returned car.The diagnosis is one of these....faulty new belt......somehow it wasn't correctly installed .....a rock or similar item had been lodged in a pulley track and caused damage, that it was not detected when all pulleys were cleaned.All pulleys this arvo were inspected again. All good. Aircon friction on compressor was checked. There us a bees dick of movement in the tensioner pulley not to cause an issue ( it has dine 315,000 km).They will installed a new belt from Darwin in the morning and I am buying a second belt just in case. My gut feeling is the new belt was a little narrow allowing it not to glide within the pulley confines and therefore move about.But what would I know lol.
I have a friend with a Pajero (translate to ->tosspot) + big van . He does use it but I wouldn't think of doing what he does. With that much investment, I'd rather pay for a decent room.
Hi the GonzIs that an RAAF uniform? Is it you?. I joined in 1973 at 17yo. Apart from excitement in the cyclone Tracey relief effort it was not my thing. But proud all the same
Hi all,...We will be driving our i30 now with 304,000km on the clock....
