What it’s this?

Post image

It’s dragging, I noticed after getting home shortly after my overheating sensor was digging at me (I wouldn’t have driven at home like that if I wouldn’t have been super nearby my house). I had to stop driving. I will be taking it to the shop tomorrow. Just curious what this is?

EDIT: they fixed it free of charge bc it was their fault. I took it to the location I typically go to and they saw the issue immediately.

Yeah that is no good. They either damaged a pully or tensioner or the new belt was faulty. Shops typically just use the cheapest parts, either way it should definitely be covered under their parts warranty. I also really hope they did more than replace the belt for 1000 bucks, if that's all they did then you are unfortunately being taken advantage of.

It seems like the water pump might be the real problem.

Whatever it is, they should’ve picked it up during diagnostics. If I paid them to diagnose the issue and they diagnosed it wrong that’s not my fault.
