The housemate's wife complained that her car's p/s system was making disconcerting noises.
She had her oil change done at a quickie lube and the tech said that a new p/s pump would be required to resolve the squealing noise.
I listened to the noise and it sounded like belt noise to me. So I popped the hood and found this...
The car is a 2009 Subie Impreza with 107k.
I have never seen a drive belt split like this. I was able to stick my finger thru the belt.
The backside of the belt also had some heavy wear.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what may have caused this? The split is a few inches long and is only on one part of the belt.
Thanks.
