I have replaced the serpentine belt tensioner, idler pulley and sepr. belt when I did the water pump/timing belt this winter. Then the alternator went in March and I replaced that. I was recharging the ac system and I noticed that the sepentine belt ridges were getting worn/damaged. Has anybody run across this problem. A Volvo mechanic said that it is possible that the crank pulley gets a nife edge with hi mileage (car has 197,000 miles) and wears the belt. The particles that have come off the belt are getting deposited just under the power steering pulley so that may be doing the damage. I will take off belt this weekend to inspect.
Thanks for any help.
