Hola,
So today while driving home I lost my rev counter, then when I got off the motorway there was a squeaking noise.
When I opened the bonnet the auxiliary belt had a strip torn off it which had pulled the plug off the rev counter and there were threads of belt all over the place.
The belt was changed at some point in the last two years, I don't remember when exactly but I remember it was caught by complete accident when the engine stopped in such a way that you could see a chunk out of the belt.
The question is, is this just bad luck or should I change the bearing in the tensioner as well and hope that fixes it?
