The very first thing you notice is that the steering will be tough to move smoothly but this can still be managed most especially if you are not going to negotiate any bend or popular round about... As to how far you can go with such belt defects, I will suggest you keep eye on temperature gauge and you make temporary stop when It passes half mark... You can still continue with the journey incase you can't find replacement at hand... However you need to be constantly stop to let engine cool off.. |

nepapole:40 kilometers but drained my battery when I entered traffic congestion. Depends on how well your battery was charged before the fan belt failure. |
