Will need some on this one...
For the first time, I heard a ping or tapping from the engine. normally it runs very quiret and smooth. Hit the highway, and after 20 miles more noise from the engine and the battety light comes on. 5 miles from home so I drive it in.
(New) serpatine belt is completely loose and the coolant pump wheel has completely come out of the coolant pump.
In the garage, the engine was quite hot - steam/smoke coming out of the passenger side air intake. Some hoses also looked like they had gotten quite hot.
And a burning smell..rubber?
Can I get buy with a new coolant pump - or more trouble in store.
Also, what came first? Belt came off - or the coolant pump broke?
Any help/advice here welcome.
