tornados Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Hi I have a 2002 C5 estate (with air con). My auxillary belt snapped. I have a friend who is a mechanic but would appreciate a diagram of how the belt is fed around the pulleys. By the way the cause was the alternator "free-wheel" pulley siezing and actually dropping off! Most places would want to sell you a complete alternator/pulley. Fortunately I found someone who fitted a brand new free-wheel pulley for £50 (inc). The cheapest alternator I could find was £160 and Citroen wanted £420 plus fitting!!!! Thanks in advance Quote
