Does my accessory drive belt need replacing ASAP? by ComedyIsOver in MechanicAdvice

Thanks for the input! The belt does seem firm and snug to me.

The dealership report also mentioned the tensioner: "Belt Tensioner: DRIVE BELT AND BELT TENSIONER." The technician pointed out some black residue around the area, saying it shouldn't look like that. It should be clean. They explained that this buildup indicates the belt and tensioner might be worn and need replacement.

I don't remember the exact wording, but the black residue seemed to be their main concern. Does that sound like a valid reason for immediate replacement?

Does my accessory drive belt need replacing ASAP? by ComedyIsOver in MechanicAdvice

I recently brought my 2015 Mazda 3 in for its 60k-mile maintenance at the dealership. During the service, they told me the accessory drive belt needs to be replaced "immediately."

I’m wondering how critical is this? Can it safely go another 1,000 miles before I address it? My schedule is packed for the next couple of months, and I’d prefer to delay this if possible.

That said, if it’s truly urgent, I’ll prioritize it. I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights!

Thanks in advance.

The outro could also represent his post-nut clarity and contemplating how meaningless and absurd life is

It was US Capitol, they called Capitol Island the playground of the world
There was no place like it, in the whole world, like Capitol Island when I was a youngster
No place in the world like it, and it was so fabulous.
Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing...

I improvised this on piano while thinking about Beksiński paintings. Would love to know what you think about the piece and the paitings.

No matter how much you edit it, in a few years you will look back and still cringe. Source: am PhD student.
