Hello all,
Compressor recently went out, bought a replacement reconditioned one, plus new tensioners, ac drive belt, and main belt. My mechanic replaced everything. Driving it home, the ac belt sawed through my bottom radiator hose and came off the pulley. I have to leave town in 2 days and won't have time to get it back to my mechanic, so I'm replacing the lower radiator hose myself tomorrow. The ac belt mfg part # is 11287512762. Any ideas why this could have happened? The hose does not appear to be out of place at all. I am stumped as to how the belt and hose were in contact.
