I have a friend that drives a 1st gen and he told me that when he was driving he threw a belt, so he replaced the belt but ever since then his car started so smoke. If any of you have any ideas on what is wrong please let me know. Thanks...

 

has he checked to make sure the belt isnt rubbing the wrong way?

 

i dont think the belt is rubbing the wrong way and from what he tells me is that the smoke is coming from the exhaust and not the engine bay. but it never use to smoke as much as it does now, it only started to smoke this bad since the day he replaced the belt. What could he have mestup on the engine when he threw the belt?

 

where are those rotary gods when u need em?

 

well If the belt that he broke was for the water pump, he may have overheated the engine, thus killing the coolant seals.

The rotary god has spoken

 

Maybe he lost the airpump belt and he's killing the catalytic converters.

 

sell it
