Our 1998 Voyager (3.0 liter Mitsubishi V6) has gone thru 3 serpentine belts in the past few years, the last one lasted 8 months before it skips a groove and starts to edge it's way off the pulleys. The outer edge of the belt (towards the passenger side of the car) starts to fray. I put one on and shops have done the last two.
I had a new tensioner (with belt) installed ($190) by a shop less than
3000 miles (8 months) ago. Another local shop says there is a TSB about some "tensioner snow shield" that may help. A search on Alldata does pull up TSG 07-01-99.My question is, anyone out there familiar with this problem and what did you do to make your serpentine belt stay where it belongs? Belts which require replacement every 3/4 year does not sound right.
