My Ride: Mini Cooper
I did a fix 2 days ago.
Change all the belt drive pulleys. I have only done 56000km on the car.
Is this normal?
It started to make noises and all the pulleys have movements in them.
The barring have started to ware out.
I see that there must be something wrong with the old set coz they have stop making them. :thumbsdown:
so guy best check it out in your 03 and 06 cars
the old belt drive has been discontinued
so I had to buy a new hole set for my 04 car.
after the fix the car feels much smoother and faster
old set
new set
