G60 belt slip?

[Andy665 0]

My toothed belt drive has been on for just over 12 months with absolutely no issues at all, I'm also running a solid tensioner

Could probably see belt slip if running a boost gauge? or going off the mfa?

 

Oh guys,will my current serpentine belt have any numbers on that will tell me the length etc?

 

Cheers,Neil. :)

i'd like to know how you determine the belt is slipping - i believe it could - but how do you come to realise that

belts do indeed have the length numbers on them, normally 4 digits

Cheers flusted m8,will check it out 8)

 

Leon,im thinking the dust like in my pic is probably a sign? can anyone confirm? definately seems so with it being right over the pully.

ive always run a boost gauge and thisis how it went.

 

floor it - 2krpm - 12psi -more - more -6k - 18psi

 

then with the slip.

 

floor it - 2krpm - 10 psi - 4k - 10psi - 6k -14psi

 

this could well be a boost leak too but i can feel the slack in the belt and it may well slip when pushed.

 

to be honest in aint worth the 400 quid plus for the tooths to give another 5 horse somewhere in the rev range if you ask me unless you are already at 200 plus running a 62 or smaller.

isnt a new belt tensioner cheaper? vag = £70.
