Belt Problem

[Farkis]

just recently this has started happening

driving normal my car runs fine, then if i VTEC just for a short amount of time my alternator belt comes loose and starts slipping and making that really bad screach, i tighten it and all runs fine till i VTEC again, car will be serviced in around 2 weeks, i dont think its the belt, more the nut and bolt as they come loose after hitting hard, i tighten well tight but still comes loose

get a new nut and bolt.
maybe it's cross threaded.

this is tru, should i go to honda spare parts or is there somewhere else ???

first of all. see if you can take it out to make sure that it's damaged.
but yes you can go to a honda dealer.
but keep in mind.. that you'll probably have to wait about 2-3 weeks to come from japan.. because i'd highly doubt they would have any.
that or you can try your luck at the wreckers.

i recon your belt is rooted. if it has slipped badly enough then the ribs will be screwed, causing it to keep slipping.

change your belt and do it up properly

figured problem, the lower bolt for alternator is missing :( ordered today gotta wait til new years to get so no driving til i get it, the upper bolt is fine and so is the belt luckly
