    Squealing like nuts today. On the way to the mechanic, the belt snapped. At first I couldn't figure out what the noise was, then it dawned on me when the ABS, CEL, PBRAKE, BATT light lit up. Pulled over, then coolant leaked from the overflow :| Oh well.

    I wonder how much this will be?

    Yikes Qube,

    Since you have visited this forum for some time, you should be "brave" enough to do the normal checks in the car. Sorry to hear that the belt snapped at the eleventh hour. Things like this do happen, so it depends on what else breaks in there.

    Keep us updated on what repair it has and what actually break besides the belt!. This is something to teach us to R&R sooner rather than delaying ...

    PS: What speed were you doing when the belt snapped ?.

    Yep. I'm starting to do checks and whatnot. I have the Haynes manual and am going through it slowly.

    In terms of speed... I would guess around 50-60 KPH in 3rd gear. On a side note, now I know what the sound of a belt snapping sounds like!
