I don't know what the hell is going on. This is just crazy. This car is getting on my last nerve. So I had installed my new fan belt yesterday. In the process, as I got that off I noticed the water pump belt seemed real lose which is probably where the squealing has been coming from even though the fan belt was coming off in pieces around the ribs. So, I tightened it up a little bit. Put everything back together.
The squealing was gone but I felt the fan was running a bit faster with the tighter water pump belt. I did everything properly except I couldn't tell what the proper tightness for that belt is. I drive around for awhile.
This morning I start up and drive around, then bunch of noise. Fan shroud fell into the fan and cut it up a bit. The plastic broke the one bolt the shroud was hanging on.
When I started the engine after I put the fan on I'm noticing the fan is bouncing around awful it looks like. And something is making noise.
Someone please call me, I'm in trouble here I don't know what to do and my tools are in my storage unit right now and can't even get the car to drive with this issue: *REDACTED*
