Driving down the highway I hear a thud and my battery light comes on. Sure enough my alternator pulley failed. I've ordered a new INA pulley and removal tool from Amazon to shave a few days off shipping. I'd like to do the same with the serpentine belt. I ordered this pulley:

and this Bando belt:

Does anyone see any issues with these parts? I've been told INA makes the VW OEM pulleys. I know people like the Continental serpentine belts, but is there any issue with the Bando belt?
Also, is there any way to test my tensioner pulley to make sure it didn't get ruined by the bad pulley? I don't want to take out the alternator but should I try to replace the brushes while I'm at it?
Thanks in advance.
