Yes.
When you remove the belt, can you spin every pulley by hand freely? Is your belt tensioner spring stretched beyond spec?
Also, when you buy a belt, make sure it the belt length corresponds to the size if your water pump pulley. There are 2 different sizes.
This information also applies to the OM606.
The longer belt length is 2145mm.
Pulley PNs:
#6032050110, 138mm diameter
#6032050210, 157mm diameter
If you have the small pulley get the short belt, if you have the large pulley get the long belt.
