Default hooray for more problems

drove back from Boca yesterday. on the way up my power steering cooler fell down and started scraping the road till it tore it to shreds, so i had no power steering. then out of no where my car starts overheating. then when i stop at a gas station it dies. pop the hood and my serpentine belt is popped off and one of the pulleys is bent[:@] had to get it towed 100 miles after waiting till 5 in the morning. meanwhile i got a 104 fever and on my deathbed and half paralyzed cause i threw out my lower back. life is great[:'(] i'll post pics tomorrow. is it just a bolt holding the pulley on? cause it looks like that was what was bent and that shouldn't be expensive. just gona suck dismantling the front end again right after just doing that, especially after finally getting this snub working right

How the hell did that happen is right. Why do your trips to Mexico turn out so rough on the Audi. You must go down there, load your car up with hookers and beat the sh@t out of it? jk, hope everything turns out well. i have to replace my steering pump this weekend, and it is possible to do the drivebelts without dismantling but its not preferred. i just took mine off to see what was making the whining noise, the only hard part was putting it back on, but its doable. good luck.
