And how are you going to keep coolant flowing?

Default it wouldn't bother me to run it for a minute that way, but not too much longer if the WP is indeed
driven by the serp belt. On all my 12V's and 30V's the WP is driven by the timing belt.

absolutely, as mentioned not too long, but you'll either hear it or not, right?

other than age, are there any reasons why an accessory belt would break?
