Finally working on the X!
Yes, I procrastinate. Yes, it has been months.
I am finally lifting the hood on the old girl and investigating the broken t-belt situation!

You know I will brother! Just got a face full of coolant and can't get the fan off! Now I know why I was a service manager and not a tech!

Fun stuff! Are you 100% sure the timing belt is snapped?

Re: Finally working on the X!
Oh yeah....that's a pretty sure sign. Hopefully you don't have any bent valves. Good luck.

Re: Finally working on the X!
Happened just off idle, leaving a stop, so I am hopeful. Getting frustrated with cooling fan that won't come off!

Assuming all the nuts are loose, give the clutch a tap. It might be seized on there a bit. Otherwise, cut off the water pump belt, and that'll allow the pulley to come loose as well. Might still need a quick tap to do so.

Took the fan off, fan clutch is still stuck on the water pump. Have done more than just tap
Top cover is off and belt is intact. top and one side are taught. One side is loose. Hoping this means that tensioner let go and belt skipped a tooth. Heading to PA shortly to pick up a puller and a 27mm socket.
