It's been a week now no issues since replacing I had an INA kit including metal pump. Everyone who's seen the state on the old belt and bits are gob smacked lol. Changed all boost pipes to silicone (orange). Looking to upgrade few things any recommendations?

It looks original plastic impeller to new one was metal.

No the idler is behind the lower metal cover no signs of it rubbing etc iv got pics of the scrap got to see them to believe it! What an engine lol.

Turned out idler was melted in bits, waterpump was completely seized and belt was split and melted I have to say what luck I had iv replaced everything and been for good blast an hour ago and she's a different car! Took me 8 hours but not bad for first attempt lol thanks for info guys will be looking at a remap soon.

Well found the problem absolutely mental it still ran glad I switched off when I did! Anyone ever seen this happen before most likely all original. Any guides on changing I'm confident at doing anything regularly work on cars only issue i have is I don't have a locking kit.

Hi thanks for reply love the car to bits baught her for 5K from trade center love the feel and goes well surprised a few . Will further investigate in the light as happened at 8 this eve.

Hi delta 2.0 limited owner for just 4 weeks but big problem this eve..... Cooling fan on engine temp going nuts, down on power, heaters cold, water pressurising, burning plastic smell and sound of belt squeal but no sign of leaks but water pressurises? Possible pump failure? She's on 78k no history of a change. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated as topics on these are non existent.
