   You cant put a time on how long it will last mate. Find which it is, and change it before it causes a bigger problem for you

   Start your engine open the bonnet & have a listen it could be your drivebelt that is wearing out or not tensioned correctly.

   +1 the inside of the pulley wears & doesn`t grip the belt.

   If its the same type of pulley as a 16v its the crank shaft one. It has a rubber part in the middle that acts as a damper, it wears and makes a noise because it sits on the piss. Get a new one before it breaks, it wont last all that long.
