the alternator packed up on my 1.9cdti 150 auto @ 55k miles. last Friday I was travelling along, heard a slipping belt kind of noise then water temp. went straight up to max!! nothing serious I thought? called the AA who found that the cambelt had slipped off the tensioner...great. got towed to a garage who put a new cam belt kit on and a new water pump. They told me the cambelt was very close to snapping and should feel lucky (which I do!) this was caused by the water pump seizing!!! The car has only done 63k miles. So bear this in mind in case you overheat...could be very expensive! Happy driving my friends!
whats next....turbo?....wheels falling off?>>>
