Today's dealership story...

Car's got 78,000 on her - running like a CHAMP!

- Two new rear Dunlop 8080Es
- Main pulley belt (original)
- AC belt (original)

FYI, been hearing a worsening & audible "groaning" noise while AC is on.
Research here theorized an AC recharge was in order ($200).
BUT, after my favorite mechanic showed me the AC belt (major chunks missing)....and after the swap:

Guess what? Yep, no more AC related noises.

So for all you AC groaners or GTB (groaners to be), swap out that $35 belt!

Cheers - Vic
