    You're thinking of the Serpentine belt. It drives the viscous fan, alternator and the pwr steering pump. (on a 1.8T that is.)

    You would have to look for damage, but it's possible that you can put a new belt on and be good to go. However, it's possible you have a bearing failure on the tensioner, P/S, idler, etc. Take a look.
