Interesting one this... My D1 300Tdi was idling on the drive, suddenly and for no apparent reason it decided to chuck the accessory belt off!
A couple of the outer 'ribs' actually shredded off, luckily I managed to turn the engine off before further damage was done. The belt has covered around 1500 miles at the most, it is a britpart item.
Upon inspecting the pulleys, I did notice that the water pump pulley (top right of engine) has a very slight dent on the inner edge, could this over time have weakened the belt and caused it to jump...or is there another more common explanation?
