I got the oil changed yesterday and afer driving about 30 miles all of a sudden my power steering stopped working, and the car starts to overheats. I'm not sure if this is due to something that the mechanic did in error or just a coincidence. My buddy said he thinks it might be problem with a belt or a fuse. Any light you guys can shed on the subject would be greatly appreciated, thanks - jay

I found the tensioner not attached at all, laying on the bottom of the engine, anyone have a link to instructions on how to re-attach it?
