Did the cabin air filter mod. Lining up that second one inside was a little frustrating but with some maneuvering I got that sucker on there. I didn't even have a filter in there and my heater core is filthy.
Removed power steering pump and took it to a fabricator to add a 1/4" flange on the outer edge of the pulley.
So yesterday new alternator went in. Today new belt again...
Really hoping it was me being simple and not tensioning belt properly, otherwise its new water pump time.
what do you plan to accomplish with this? just curious
Fok.I found the problem.

Yes sir. Wall of shame straight up.So your tensioner pulley came apart then wore right through your T-belt cover ??
Haha. Nah, just replacing it. But wow eh ? Being lazy and not doing water pump, obviously pulleys and tensioner as well as belt.There's no shame in that !!
That is an obvious defect in materials and workmanship !!!
Mazda should offer you a new part and a loaner car !!
