So yesterday, i started hearing a wierd noise that i thought was alternator whining.
Moving on to today... I went for a drive to get to school. Car was making the same crunchy whine. Half way to my school i hear a loud bang. Didnt think much of it because i thought it was the pot hole i just hit. 5 Minutes later I noticed my voltage slowly start dropping to 12 amps from 13. Kept driving like an idiot... Then noticed my temp at 250 so immediately pulled over. Check under the hood and i was greeted to this:
So that explained amp drop and almost overheating.
Waited around for a friend to drop off some tools and got to work thinking all i need to do is replace the belt.
WRONG....
I instead find something way less explainable and well something i dont know what to do about (powersteering pulley was just resting ready to fall off):
Question is... Do i need a new power steering pump and pulley?
Or is there a different solution... Please help im lost and confused of what happened or what to do.
Sincerely,
Denis
