If it's the plastic air con pulley that and the belt are easily replacable . Guessing one edge has broken away which allows the belt to shed . Ask me how I know .
Now a distant memory unfortunately.

It happened early this morning but after about 5 mins of a tractor like sound everything went back to normal, power seams fine and all the temps were ok with no warning lights, i read on another post it could of been the AC belt as some people remove this with no engine problems to get rid of a whining noise on start up, the 3 pulleys are located to the right when looking down and it’s the small middle of the ones on the right has destroyed itself
