Hi all, my drive belt keep slipping so I replaced it as it was abit worn, so after putting a new one on its made no difference, the teeth on the motor seem fine, no different to my other c5's, the belts tight but just slips.
Any suggestions please?

Hi have you checked that the gearbox has not come off the lip ...

Have you tried the cable tie mod on the motor bracket?  Mine used to slip all the time until I put the cable tie on.

Thanks chas I will check that tomorrow, and thanks Dan,but could you explain this a bit more?
Thanks

Hi Carl,

This is what I have done, it keeps the bracket lip against the motor and stops it slipping. I've done it on all my C5's.  I think in the 80's the Hoover engineers would put a metal bracket against the motor to achieve the same thing.  Is it only slipping at low speeds?

Hi Dan, I think that's what I need, it only slips when pulling off, once I get some speed it's ok.
Thanks for your help.
Carl

Hi Dan, the cable ties worked!
Thanks again
