I Take It "Worn Belt" Is A Bad Thing?
R. Alex Whitlock
My car's inspection tag expires at the end of the month. On Friday I got it inspected. Despite running
better than ever after
100,000 miles, it failed on account of a worn belt. No way I could have known that.
Oh yeah, and it also failed due to
windshield wipers.
Harrumph.
Observations
Good lord, that's one picky inspection station! I'm surprised that nobody pointed out the belt during an oil change. Most shops seem to be very quick to do so. :)
Well, my oil is due for a change. I was supposed to get it changed when I got the car inspected but plum forgot. Come to think of it, I think it failed on those grounds as well.
