My harmonic balancer also failed today, at just under 200,000km.
Indications: Burning rubber smell, alternator/battery light ON and power steering very heavy.
To limp home, I reduced the load on the failing harmonic balancer by deselecting the air-con, turning off any lights and any other non essential electrical loads.
Had to be careful of the engine temperature though, as the waterpump is also driven from the same source.
Cheers,
Colin.
