I assume your Autozone belt is standard US-size (specified in inches).
While that belt may work in the short term, what you really need is
a metric sized belt which has slightly different V-profile.  People
running US-standard belts on Audis have reported short belt life (in
some cases catastrophic torn-to-bits type failure).  Perhaps that is
the cause of your original problem?
