Supercharger belt

[Holmsey24]

Hi all,
My car has done 12,000 miles (2016) just passed 4 years.

I am aware of the 4 year belt replacement and was on the list to replace the belts at the next service (4 year one) which I was planning to book in for a few months time.  Had a recent service done in November 2019 some 1500 miles ago.

I noticed this surface wear on the belt today, have you noticed similar wear on yours and if so should this be an urgent replacement to do like tomorrow in your view / experience?

Cheers

Get that belt replaced ASAP.

 

Also, doesn't look to be the gator back style belt, as it should be?

[Holmsey24]

Yeah figured as much.

Booked in for next available slot.  Can only assume it’s the original so not sure what they were fitted with from factory.

Having full 4 year service done whilst it’s in.

As of beginning 2013 the production was changed to include only gator back belts. So if this is the first belt, it qhould be a gator back, but it doesn't look that way on that picture?

Ok I’ll check what was on it when replaced.  Jonny at Performance Autocare over here is sorting it for me and I know he comes with a sound reputation in my area.

thanks for the replies
