Mazdabater is on a distinguished road
Default Alt/water pump belt issues.
So my S4 is finally registered and on the road over here and I'm just about ready to put it up for sale. I haven't done much driving in the thing so I'm trying to find all the little issues with it now. First one was I went to drive it up a hill to see how it went under load, got about 100m up and the temp started climbing. Went home and discovered the alt belt is loose as. Tightened it up and changed the coolant. Ran alright then the belt came loose again and was too streched to be re tensioned.

So I went down and purchased a new one and it's chewed this one out too. So obviously there is a slight alignment problem but also the previous owner has removed the air pump.

Now I was looking around on the pineapple racing site as I'm buying the EGT gauges for my s5 this week and noticed the yoohoo belt.

Is this worth buying as a precaution? My s5 has some sort of aftermarket belt setup on it so I have never noticed that the water pump might slip without the air pump. Not really keen on going to a dual belt setup on a car that I'm going to sell but my missus has been driving it around lately and I'm worried if the temp gauge starts going up she will keep driving.
