Ice on my belt.. slipping?
I was ramaging around in my engine bay seeing if I could find out where that metal piece had come from when I ran across something that I might be worried about. There's ice built up in the grooves of my belt, and I was wondering if that could be why it's slipping.
It's a relatively new belt.. bought it last August. THere's no cracks that I could see, but there's just a bunch of ice built up in the grooves. Being too impatient to just let the ice melt, I took the belt off and used an air compresser to blow the ice out, and on my way home drove normally. I didn't notice any slipping (but then again, I'm not really too observant.. my radio could stop working and I wouldn't notice..) But when I got back to the house I checked it again and saw that there was ice in my belt AGAIN! Is it normal? Can I prevent this somehow? |
Where you bucking a lot of snow? Lots of fine powder snow?
|
I have been the last few days, but on my way home I hadn't at all, the roads are all ice. I had only driven for about 45 minutes, as well.
Just went driving again, and my belt was squealin now! I pulled over to look at it and saw that darn ice again.. I'm worried something wrong, or that my belt might break. Is that possible? |

The belt can break or jump off with ice/snow/cold water hit it in the right spot.
Trying to think of other ways water or anything else can make it in to the pulleys. Do you have a cover on the front? |
what does everyone think about it being a sticking fan clutch?
|
It might but where is the ice coming from.
|
the snow piles she run over on the ice rac ing track.. its in her fan shroud or infront of the radiator slowly melting i bet.
|
That would be enough to get onto the pulleys.
