Modus belt handover issue

Hey, I drive a Modus too and had something similar happen. Was there any belt squeal before it totally went out? Wondering if it was the idler pulley or the tensioner itself that failed.

There were intermittent belt squeals noted prior. Was the failure gradual, or did it manifest abruptly?

Yeah, the squeal got worse over a couple of weeks then one morning, bam, no more handover. I'd definitely get it checked out professionally. Sounds like the tensioner is shot. I'd say just go to the workshop.

I consulted with a technician, and the diagnosis confirms a defective belt tensioner. The anticipated repair cost is approximately 455€. Thanks; your experience proved invaluable in expediting the diagnostic process.
