I was driving the other day--- I see smoke coming from my hood... I immediately pull over. Pop the hood. My serpentine belt is hanging off.
I get it towed to my house--- I buy a new belt...
And just now I put it on--- was real easy, took me 2 minutes... I doublechecked everything.
I start it and everything seems to be working great... but then after 30 seconds, it starts smoking... I look at it and the rubber is melted to the tensioner...
I have no idea, why it did this to the old belt and now to the brand new one, too?
What does this mean? Is it a bad tensioner... and/or is one of my pulleys damaged?
Help... I'm stranded here with no car...
