    So I'm 100 miles away from home and my belts just grenaded. Car is parked. Very surprising given the fact that everything was replaced a little under 2 years ago.

    What happens when a water pump or power steering pump goes bad ? Do they completely seize ? I noticed a pulley hissing noise that amplified before the failure. I wonder if it's because a component has gone bad or if it was simply from the bad belts.

    Doubt it would seize. I'm betting very bad pulley or bad belt that was defective?

    Have you ever changed the idler or tensioner pulleys? Those can spin in excess of 10k RPMs and can seize up

    I have a feeling the catastrophic option is what happened. My WP has 65k on it (was planning to replace in the spring)

    Everything in the belt drive was new (< 2 years old) except the crankshaft, alternator and PS pulleys. WP has 65k but has a new pulley on it.

    Final plan of action is to have the car towed to my place and assess the damage down the line. Registered for a CAA (same as AAA) competitor that offers 5x 150 mi tows per year on top of the usual roadside assist benefits for ~$80 USD.

    Is there a good resource for learning about fast-blinking turn signals (hyperflash?) caused by LED retrofits? I'm specifically interested in adding resistors in parallel with the LEDs somewhere. I've read bits and pieces from other uses here that hint at a way most people do the fix.

    If your temperature gauge didn't indicate any WP failure, then your Idler or Tensioner pulley seized and burned the belt. Saw first hand how a seized AC compressor will destroy a belt (98 Dodge 1500). And that's how we found out that the compressor had failed after putting the new one on and turning it over. Hell of a noise and sparks.

    Hope you get it squared away. Give all your components an inspection and see where your sticky wicket is.

    No red zone, but it was 5 degrees F so it probably didn't get the time to go there. My temp gauge is recalibrated (red starts at 105-110C instead of 125.

    Just went to the car and removed the trashed belt to at least move the car to a safe location (it was cold and I drove 2 mins tops). Everything seemed fine, including the water pump - no coolant residue anywhere and it seemed to turn straight by hand. Other pulleys were turning fine with the expected resistance. PS pulley seemed a bit loose - could that be the culprit? I don't recall losing PS though.

    I'm seriously startled by this.

    I'm glad you and the car are ok Alex.

    Anyone know what this is?
