Now the serpentine belt has let go.

I hope thats all it is. Max is meant to be heading into the desert with us in 2 weeks!

Is it possible that the rattle is a dead tensioner, as the belts don't usually just let go? One can only hope, although if it is the tensioner then the replacement belt would also come off fairly quickly.

You'll find the serpentine belt diagram on the RAVE CD in the workshop manual, Section 12 - ENGINE - V8i, REPAIR, page 1.

I keep a copy in the glove box - just in case.

Thanks for this GrahamH,

I've just had a look and it doesn't seem to be there. It seems the D1 RAVE is a bit more comprehensive than the D2 one.

Then file that in a couple of places ie, User Handbook & WM.

Bit of a drama you had. I hope it's something easy & fixable.
