2000 3.8L T&C Throwing It's Belt
Twice in the past two months it's thrown the serpentine belt. Tensioner
moves normally and the belt doesn't appear glazed. What should I be looking for? The only contributing factor could be water splash from a puddle...but the splash guard is still in place so I'm not sure that's a part of it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Richard |

I believe the answer is some problem with the idler pulley being out of plane - requires replacement or shiming or something. Do a Google search on this ng and you should find the answer several times (or some nice person who really knows the answer will post it).

Idler pulley going bad and causing belt out of alignment. A/c drain tube
missing and when turning corners water from drain hits P/s pulley causing it to slide off alignment or even cause to fall off "Richard Smith" > wrote in message ... > Twice in the past two months it's thrown the serpentine belt.

I had seven belts replaced, they replaced the belt tensioner 2 times,
replaced the AC compressor once a pulley then they went to a tech service bulletin for a 1999 Chrysler that told them to replace the main bracket that bolts to the engine part number 4612412. That worked been good since June of 2003. My wife was so afraid to drive the car I went out and bought a Honda Accord. Now I have 3 cars "Richard Smith" > wrote in message ... > Twice in the past two months it's thrown the serpentine belt. Tensioner > moves normally and the belt doesn't appear glazed.
