Alternator belt

This problem went away for the summer but again with the dark evenings its creaping back. When driving my alternator belt sweaks.... and I think its wearing. It's seem to be happening when the lights are on and would be worse if the wipers are on too, as if the things when switched on are loading the alternator and putting it under pressure...

Anyone got an idea or had the same problem?

Glen.

Been there, best solution is to replace the belt or you could try tightening it. Change it if you can because you don't want to be stuck in the dark on a cold and rainy night :wink:
