So on Friday 10 Feb, driving home from work I started hearing a "slap slap slap" sound similar to if your tire shredded. Pulled over and looked, tires were all good so I popped the hood and found the belt torn and slapping around while running. I didn't want to wait for a tow truck so I limped it to the nearest dealership near my house (should have went to a mom and pop shop). They told me they wouldn't be able to get it in the shop until Monday, called through the day and kept getting different answers (including the service rep trying to tell me that because the car is heavily modified and tuned, they cant accurately read the CEL code that came up. I told him yes you can, just plug the reader in and tell me what the code is), they finally told me that the belt had broken the cam position sensor wires and the belt tensioner. I asked what the total price would be and he told me ~$1,200 for the new belt, tensioner, cam position sensor/wires, and an oil change. Called this morning for an update and he told me they wont have the parts until tomorrow, and then they will see if there is anything else broken or causing issues.
It's just weird that the belt broke, there was no sign that it would and it was in the shop for a different CEL about a month ago. The odometer did just hit ~52k miles so I'm assuming that's about the time it would need a belt change.
Heavily modified equates to: Whoosh RMM, Motor and trans mount inserts, Mishimoto Radiator, overflow tank, whoosh rad hoses, 160 degree thermostat, Mishimoto Intake, whoosh catted DP, MBRP cat-back (with a muffler welded at the back), Whoosh shift reduction, whoosh shifter base bushings, shifter cable bushings, Dizzy stage 2 tune, aftermarket intercooler (unk brand from PO)
