Why does my fanbelt keep coming off?

Just losen the mounting drop the engine abit until its far enough for the fanbelt to pass the mounting and replace it. May i ask are you sure its the fanbelt according to my knowledge ive never heard of a fanbelt on a corsa bakkie where thd engine mounting can prevent it from coming off

they are probably just idler pullys. the just keep the belt in line and tight.

youve over heated the engine -and may have cracked the head or warped it -suggest you take to a ford mechanic a.s.a.p -an oil change wont solve the problem ,a new replacement head and new gasket etc.at the worst or may get away with just maching the head if its not cracked then with new gasket you could be lucky -talk to mechanic

many vehicles fan's run on after turning engine off depending on the engine temperature at the time ,so that the engine is cooled down so helping the fuel not to evaperate in the fuel system, how long does it run on for ?

Sounds like to much pressure on the belt or damage to a pulley.

Some thing in onr of those components is shorting and /or drawing to much current. If you can't figure out which then you will have to get a diag. The serp belt could not cause this. Look at the 12v plug-ins.

there is a recall on this problem that adds a belt guide onto the car to keep the belt on, call your local dealer for more info and to get the kit.
