My 91 Volvo 740 seemed to have a lot of problems with the alternator belt. The belt had broken twice so far within a year. This time the belt was so loose (seemed to be stretched) that it was not charging the battery and the car was dead on the road suddenly without any sign. I managed to jump start it but it died shortly after driving a few blocks.
I could not see anything unusually. The belt seemed to be aligned properly and the tension was right.
Anyone can help?
