V-Belt not tight enough?

[Steve Dambrowski <steved@panix.com>]

Car: 1986 Audi 4000 CS Quattro

  Today, the voltmeter started acting strange. It fell down to the 12 
mark, and as I was driving to and from work, it continued to fall until 
the car stopped. :( (I'd guess it was about 20-30 minutes of night driving)
If the alternator belt is not tight enough, could this cause the system 
not to be recharged? (I know it is somewhat loose, as when it rains it 
starts to screech) I did jump the car, but the charge was lost after 
about 30-60 seconds. 

  Any suggestions?
