2G Does alternator belt trigger false temps

[mustracetsi]

Hey fellow dsm ers. Short quick story and question. On the way home from a restuarant. My belt snap. Well it squeled then broke. Talking about the altanator belt. My question is, is the belt for the altanator and power steering one belt becuase when the belt went so did the power steering and last. Since the belt broke it lit my dash gauges almost all up and car temp was high. Those the belt broken has something to do with the cars temp gauge on the dash. Like to say in advance thank you for your time and efforts on helping me out

did you let it overheat? your temp gauge reading was right, because you also lost your water pump...

Temp gauge went up because that same belt that broke runs the pulley on your water pump. Without a spinning water pump, you will overheat.
