Plz help:Serpentine belt shredding!
2002 has 76,000 mi on it and the car's serpentine belt needed replaced. Thought that after the serpentine belt, it would be fine! Well, it shredded again. To go back earlier, the water pump and the small hose was replaced that had a crack in it. Hose was not a Jag hose and found out that it had to be a Jag. smaller diameter hose and still problem persists! It is still rubbing on something. My husband is ready to get rid of my Jag! HELP

first guess would be one of the pulleys (either on the tensioner, idler, water pump, power steering pump or alternator. One of those is not kosher. This should be very visible while the car is not running. Look at each, and make sure the belt is off of the 'lip' on each pulley.
I think it was the s-types that had an issue with the idler pulley chewing up the belt, there was variations of the pulley, one had a lip, the other didn't.
Idler pulleys and tensioner pulleys (actually, the tensioner pulley is an entire assembly) are easy changes, labor wise. The others, well...lets not even venture there yet until you find the culprit.

This is not a problem you can fix by sitting at a computer and talking on the internet. You have a belt rubbing problem. The ONLY way to fix it is to inspect your car and find out where this is happening. This forum is great but you already know your problem and you MUST look at YOUR car!!
