I assume your man is talking about the Alternator/supercharger drive belt. If so I'd have a new one fitted. They fail rarely but you would lose electrical power from the alternator, you would have no boost and I think the water pump is off the same one too, so you would have no water cooling. It would leave you stranded if it went.

 

If you have AA/RAC then I see no reason to not use your car but be wary of going too far from home.

 

The belt is about 20 from GSF and a bit more for a VW one. Prolly about an hour to fit.

My Belt nearly failed once. It just started to break up and it nearly sheared the pulley off(dont know how just what my mechanic told me). So I would agree if it looks bad change it asap could save you £££'s in the long run.
