My alternator supporting bolt and adjustor snapped last week causing the alternator to drop and the belt to slacken - resulting in temporary power steering lose. Belt was whining badly although powersteering came back, and I temporary put a bolt in place to retention the belt and hold the alternator in place, so I could get home.
The car is going in tomorrow to get it fixed under warranty, should I be insisting on a new belt as well, surely it may of damaged the belt?
