Might want to check your tensioner and or crank pulley. Why'd you throw the belt?

The G-8 has been critically acclaimed by some in the automotive press as "the budget-minded man's 5-Series Bimmer."

Do you deem that statement accurate or a stretch? :confused5:

Love the car even more so now after the mods (nothing crazy). I've had for 2 years now. Bought it with 14k and i know have 36,700 on it. I'll probably hold onto it for 2 more years or so. At that point my youngest will be 5 and i can get back into a two door as she will be able to negotiate the seatbelts in back on her own confidently. I'll report back tonight or tomorrow as i am in the office now typing this on my phone and this write up will take a bit of time. :cert:

Its happens now and again apparently on some cars. My tensioner is fine upon visual inspection. The cure from the forums is to go with a half inch shorter belt which i am picking up on my way home as its in.. GY Gatorback.

Good news on the easy fix :dance:

I went with one of my racing buddies to buy his G8 GT last year (low mile/used)
I was really impressed with how it looked, drove and handled.

I know a year later, he is still enjoying the hell out of it. :yesnod:

Interesting that the OP didn't hear or feels something odd when the belt was thrown/broken.

Or SMELL if the car's HVAC system was energized or windows rolled down.
