Have it fixed asap. It is only a small job.If the Unit s***ts itself, the belt will come off and you will loose drive to the power steering pump, water pump and alternator. Not a nice feeling @ all.

Any idea how long it takes for them to do it? id want to hang around while fraud replaces it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
