My car overheated and seized so i loaded up a save from just before i left on my drive and was tuning the car when sudenly the fan belt broke, it didnt come off and land on the floor it just dissapeered.

it snapped because it was too tight,if it snaps a new one spawns at the store

I would like to know if thats a myth or not. cuz i tightened my belt to the max and it stayed on for a very long time, like 5 trips around the map or so.

only today it snapped for the first time, but i think it was at the exact same time i downshifted from 4-3 and hit the rev limiter.

considering how many topics about fan belts there is here i think it would be really helpful to get an official statement on why it snaps.

thats not too long tbh,from my own experience,the belt snaps if you have the alternator too tight,after the squeaking sound stops,there are 3 possitions,never go to the lastest one.and i can confirm you the belt spawns at the store if it snaps.it apperantly doesnt if you just loose it,but this didnt happened to me

yes it spawned at the store.

i will def take your advice ant try it out, i will step back the alternator one step and repeat the cycle where i snapped it.

only it would be nice to actually know from the developer what causes it.

Well thats annoying because i had just had the mechanic do a tune up on the car before it snapped and i ordered a winshield replacement, i got to the store and the windshield was smashed.

take the gauges off before you get it replaced. Its a bug. Will cause the window to auto shatter. Just toss em in the boot when ya drop the car off, and put them back on when ya pick it up.

he's a feckless idiot that cant fix ♥♥♥♥. does that sum it up well enough?
i reloaded my game just make sure i hadnt accidentally dropped a gear and it happened everytime, i went to fleetari asked for a tuneup came back n started heading home got as far as the store before it threw a rod and i was just ♥♥♥♥♥♥. reloaded and deliberatly blew the engine up infront of his shop then asked for an engine repair and tune and he did litterally ♥♥♥♥ all. it was still blown up.

I think if your fanbelt "breaks" it despawns. It probably broke on the way there and you didn't notice.
