[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 589607, member: 3541"] I'm having a similar issue with the current batch of alternator belts, I've gone through 5 in the last 6 months, and I've bought them from different suppliers. Fit a new one and it only needs one shim between the pulleys, after a couple of hundred miles and readjustment it's almost too loose with the shim removed. Drive another couple of hundred miles and it wants replacing again.... This has only happened in the last year or so. Nothing different with the engine and I've checked the pulley alignment. [/QUOTE]
