This weekend, my car (2004 1.9D DW8) shredded its auxilliary drive belt. Changed the tensioner (been chattering for a while) and a new belt fitted, not a problem. Now the question. When the belt failed, power steering was lost but the charge light did not come on. Investigating when I got home, with the belt off, and no drive to the alternator, the charge light went off as usual when the engine was started. Charge was OK before and with a new belt, seems to be OK now. Theoretically impossible, Any ideas out there?

Demonic possession ? See if it still works if you take the battery off.

Just been to church and got some holy water. Spayed the car with it, no screams or smoke so I guess demonic possession is out. Does look a little cleaner though.

Maybe battery was fully charged.
