@unkkz

If your engine is still running fine, but your AC isn´t working anymore, i´m pretty sure it´s the v-rib belt.
The timing belt has no connection to your AC compressor!!!!

As Niko already mentioned, if your AC compressor isn´t working anymore, or better said the pulley of the AC compressor isn´t turning anymore, the V-rib belt slips over the pulley
There is a non-positive connection between the belt and the pulley, the belt slips over the pulley and gets warm...thats were the smoke comes from.

You can check this easiliy by starting the engine and turning the AC on and off. Normally you should hear a difference between these two states.

I hope this was understandable, as english is not my native language..

It was more then understandable, thank you Tried it just now as we were gonna drive it to the shop and well, bye engine. I had told my girlfriend(it's her car so to say) that we should have it towed just to be safe but she didn't want to thinking it was unneccessarry and that it would survive to the shop. Well, it didn't. We drove about 2meters and the pull of the car while in free was pretty much 0. Again i wasn't driving so i wasn't aware just quite yet. It drives a bit weird and i ask her if it's ok, she says "No there's like no pull in free and shit" and i tell her to pull over, she still won't do it, not untill i yell "Do not drive another meter - pull the car over now we need a tow!". And when it's pulled over she starts it again! To "check" if it's still fucked. And now i am somehow getting shit for every little tiny thing because she's pissed over the car. And i have to call the insurance company, the shop, fix a tow... goddamnit i don't usually don´t say it but women... AAAHHH!

As a sidenote i found all the papers for the car and, the timing belt was swapped out two years ago or 40,000 km ago. And i have to say we are unlucky as fuck? The thing should survive atleast the double?

My friend had an engine seize on him after buying a 3500$ dollar car and driving it for 3 weeks. Dealership wasnt there when he went back.

That´s really unlucky.Yeah normally the timing belt should survive at least 60,000 km and 5 years.It depends on the engine, but that´s the lowest limit I know. Sometimes you can keep the belt 120k and 10years.

Maybe you can get some of the money back when you know exactly what happened with the engine. Sometimes you get a warranty on the parts that lasts long enough. At least here in germany, don´t know how it is in sweden.
