Just giving an Update, so I took my car to my mechanic and well the bearings on my top right idle pulley and the one from the very top from the Crankshaft pulley gave out. I'm getting both em replaced tomorrow and I advise my Fellow Z members to check your pulleys if u hear a "Ticking" sound cuz that's what happened to mine I just ignored it thinking it was normal from the car.

Very strange for pulley to go out yet alone two of them. I've never seen two go out at the same time.

You should have called the dealer and see if it could get covered. Sometimes dealers and manufactures make exceptions for this especially since you're only 5k over warranty.

I think it was the sudden switch from power to manual steering when the belt snapped in mid turn that he was talking about.

This. He lost boost via no belt.

This might be overkill, but when I have replaced the serpentine belt on other cars, I always replace the idler pulleys, then replace the tensioner around 75K. While the belt tends to run in the $50 to $60 range, the pulleys are around $20 (prices might be different for our cars, I'll check and see). With the amount of work it takes to get to the serpentine belt, it would seem to me to make sense to replace the idler pulleys at the same time. :twocents:

Oh I did I didn't wanna have the same problem again lol the tensiober seem fine no worries to the slightest. But I did end up replacing the third idler pulley just to have all 3 idlers new and a new serpentine belt.
