My blower was fitted in early 2010 and has since done around 60,000 kms, no probs with belt drive re road debris/dirt/moisture etc..... the belt does collect some grit and periodically I have a look at the ribbed inner surface and dig out any small bits embedded in it. Did put a new belt on halfway thru all that, no particular reason, just had it apart and thought I would.
Running an early tensioner, sort of a spring-loaded swinging arm arrangement, a Ford part by the look of it. Never been a problem there either.
