I fitted a 4PK850 from gates- seems fine so far and I believe this is the right size for the M13. Is the pulley in good condition?

Have you been tensioning them correctly and cleaning any rubbish out of the grooves on the pullies when changing them?

Make sure all the pulley wheels are clean, smooth and free from any rust. It only takes a bit of rust on one of the wheels to cut through belts like a knife.
I had a problem like this and carefully cleaning the pulley wheels cured the problem.
