How long did your belt driven accessories last?

[KPT]

Just wondering the average mileage people have got out of alternators, water pumps, PS pumps, etc.

I have 143k miles and the only thing that has failed so far is the bearing in the belt tensioner.

I have a 1994 Sport with 202K miles on it. All original, except the A/C clutch locked up at about 180K miles.

160km...Actually, the belt was fine up until the uppermost pulley bolt fell out... Then, all hell broke loose.. At first I thought it was the neighbors cat. Unfortunetaly, it was the pulley which cost me an arm and a leg to replace.

My idler pulley bearings went out at 128K miles.. At first, I thought that it was the alternator, but the pulley locked up before i pulled the alt. so that worked out OK..

I think that the pully was only like $15.00...

160k and all original.

~140k all original except the belt -- replace the belt every now and then or else it will leave your vehicle stranded

Original alternator went out at 22K miles. Have 40K on replacement alternator. No problems so far.
