Hello chaps,
I was driving to work in my Cherokee to work t'other day, judder, temp gauge goes up, charging goes right down.
Pull it over, no belt.
Got my Brother in Law (he's a good egg) to tow it home, sourced a replacement belt, simple enough job, when I went to start it, it slipped straight off again (the other one disintegrated, rather than a simple slip, the parts I found looked pretty ancient).
Put it back on, it slipped off at, what I assume to be, the same point, which is the lower-right idler pulley.
Checked it out and it wobbles a bit, and it has a couple of small bite marks out of it, is it worth replacing this, and do you all think that this could solve the problem and get my Jeep running again?
Details:
2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ
- not strictly retro, but the design is pretty old, so I'm claiming it, plus you guys have some serious know-how
2.5 Turbo Diesel
- VM engine
90k miles
Thanks in advance

the belt is on tightly, thankfully there's a diagram on the fan shroud so it's pretty easy to follow, but when you turn the engine over, the belt comes off.
