    Serpentine Belt slipped off

    On my way to work this morning, my serpentine belt slipped off. I did some reading the people's tensioners have grenaded themselves; however, I do not see evidence of catastrophic failure. Heck, I didn't even hear anything so much as notice a lack of power steering.

    Was wondering if the alignment of my pulleys is off. From a top-down view, it looks like the power steering pulley is slightly forward from the others. Is this true? If not, should any of the other pulleys or the tensioner be spaced out? Also, no clutch fan as I've done a JHM EFK (JHM says the tensioner should take up the extra slack).





    Picture when it was first installed:



    Audi Silver Spring near me does have the tensioner in stock, so I could fix it today if that's the issue. But I'd rather not spend money on something that won't fix the issue.

    Nm. Guys on the Audi allroad Quattro Facebook group helped me out. Turns out the PS pulley was on backwards (didn't even know there was lettering on it).

    Wait, Facebook was actually useful for something?

    Apparently, and they're usually much quicker to respond.
