Pollution pump/ belt

[FrostByte]

I have had two belts jump one grove on fly-wheel & ruin the edge & one rib/groove of belt recently. I was thinking that the oil was getting on edge of belt & softening it up & causing this. Certainly isn't helping.

So Im changing the outer oil seal in the Procharger & checking pulley alignment & such. When checking the power steering pump pully I see that it moves about 1/8" in/out. Is this normal or should it pretty much be rock solid w/ no play?

Maybe even call me asap if you would, im going back out to finish seal/belt change.

i don't think there is a "pollution" pump on your car. can you take a pic? 1/8 inch sounds like too much. be sure to check all your idlers and tensioner too

MB its the power steering pump, LOL. Drivers side, lowest pulley. Sounds like im changin the power steering pump next.

Checked all the idlers & wheels, all good.

Seal on the SC was super easy to change. The rubber seal had completly come away from the metal ring its supposed to be connected to.

Sounds like the bad seal was most likely the problem. Maybe you should check to see what kind of play a new PS pump has at a parts store before you buy one. It might just be the way they are
