I tighten the pulley back and snapped back the belt but nothing it made a horrible screeching sound and smoke starting coming out where the band was rubbing on that pulley. I'm just gonna take it to the dealer or.

Sounds like the pulley isn't turning. Is the bearing in it seized? If it is, it's possible that it could have unscrewed itself.

Here's how the belts supposed to be installed

@chuck: yes man thats exactly it! @Trips:the pulley that Untightened in the one on the top roght from #3 (crankshaft pulley)...this is more of a dealers problem yes?:yum: Becausr I haven't messed with those things nor tried installing a pulley kit.

Chuck33079 08-21-2013 08:40 PM

It's a dealer problem if you're still under warranty. If not, I can't imagine that the pulley is too expensive. If you're DIYing it, go ahead and replace the belt too. It's a wear item, and you just took some life off of it.

megalapagas 08-21-2013 08:46 PM

Warranty is 100k miles correct?

Chuck33079 08-21-2013 08:51 PM

Maybe if you bought an extended one. From memory, powertrain is 5 yrs/60k miles.

megalapagas 08-22-2013 04:48 AM

Oh ok then lets see what happens ill keep you guys posted, this is new to me as is the FIRST problem I ever encountered with my Z in the past 3 yrs lmao xD
