As im driving down the freeway I heard a snap noise, didn’t think much of it until i saw smoke coming from my car. Pulled off the freeway and I see my supercharger pulley is snapped in half and a puddle of oil spilling from the front pasanger side. Also my main belt had came off but not snapped

Hard to tell in the picture, but looks like tensioner may have failed. Oil maybe have come from cooler lines as the belt whipped around. Surprised coolant temp didn’t go up and you didn’t get a code. Assuming it was fairly quick from the noise until you pulled over. Hopefully just oil cooler lines and no other damage. Good luck.

Wow , very sorry that happened, was your car stock or modified ?

Yup, the belt is broken.

The belt doesn't look oily, so oil leak was likely caused by belt hitting cooler lines or the filter itself was torn or spun loose from belt rotation/impact....
Factory SC pulley looks together, so that doesn't look like it failed. If SC spins freely, it is fine.
I may need to make a little shield to protect the lines/filter when/if the belt brakes if this is the actual cause..... Interesting.

Isn't that the SC pulley that's ok? So what is broken then? Stock or modded? What did the dealer say?

So from the tensioner failing it can cause the belt to snap? I thought i might of had a faulty belt.

bone stock, i feel like if I had an upgraded pulley this wouldn’t happen 😂

yea first thing i did was spin the supercharger to see if it was anything from that, but car was running fine even after the snapping noise. So most likely was just shit luck when the belt broke hit oil lines. Going to go to the dealer today will keep updating.

All stock waiting for dealer “diagnostics” which takes 3-4 days apparently

I'd buy that for a dollar. I am sweating my belt snapping and would love to have a shield to protect those lines.

Pulley snapped in half? Looks fine in the pics.

Belt and pulley are two different things.

 

[Unavowed]

Yup, the belt is broken.

Well whatever it is its all messed up as you can see in the pictures.

 

[Clovishellcat]

is this a freak accident, or could this of been prevented? I DD mine and am out of warranty, a bit nervous now.

Usually when the belt snaps it doesn’t break any oil lines. Definitely have yours checked up time to time at some point have it changed, lots of stress goes on it.

 

[baabootoo]

ANY updates???????

I guess i mixed pulley and belt up, i should of wrote belt snapped in the description.
