"I have a 2004 Albin 28TE with a Volvo KAMD 300. At approx 20+/- hours I keep throwing water pump belts. The belt design is flat with multiple grooves. When removed the belt appears burnt (the burnt side is hardened with multiple cracks). Nobody at Volvo seems to be able to offer any advice. Each time I replace a new belt I tighten it to required tension and make sure I've cleaned the drive pully with a wire brush after which I apply with a small amount of WD40. Has anybody experienced this problem and if so could you recommend a solution.
Thanks in advance.
