Aux belt tensioner

Post by bigblueyonder »

Saturday while driving home from work my alternator light came on & power steering failed, thinking it was just the belt I got a new one without checking what the cause was =; . Went to fit the belt only to find the tensioner bolt had sheared off in the housing for no apparent reason X( Is this a common thing or was I just unlucky? (my car has covered 245k miles)
Aiming for the moon & back.....hopefully
