Even here in Sweden’s neighbor (Finland) parts are currently hard to come by.

My drivers door lock actuator is failing when temp is below-20 and needs replacement. Part not available here and is on back order in Sweden too

Don't forget the Granddads, when all we had was just one fan belt.

Remember adding a few squirts of 3in1 into my mini’s dashpot many many years ago and tuning the engine using a wooden rod between engine block and ear hole for feedback.
Happy times 😉😂

Had a B4 Auto about 18 months and 14k miles. This morning on starting there was a very loud noise (like screeching and gurgling from the engine bay) then a warning message about 12v battery safety issue so took a look and found the belt chewed up. It was serviced at a main dealer c.4k miles back.

Putting this out there to see if others have had similar Issues beyond the original message on this thread.

I won't speculate on root cause but will update when the dealer has shared their observations.

Presume you have been offered a loan car?

Checked out mine today and the belt is pristine. There's something else that must have caused this.

believe this to be just a failed belt - very rare yes but not unheard of and doubt any real damage done
