Volvo S80 2007 D5 Alternator belt snapping.

Post by VovloS80Alt »

Hello,
So my alternator belt has snapped already 3 times in 1,5 years. I have changed the pulley and tensioner but after 4 months it has happened again.
Any tips what to do or is it the first time?
Thanks.

When the serp belt lets go, you are at risk of it taking out the timing belt or causing it to skip. I had that happen to a C70 and it ruined the engine.
