I'm going to ditch the power steering on my Mk2 with 1.8T conversion. Question is, once the power steering pump is removed, I obviously need a shorter alternator belt, but which one from which car? I'm guessing a Mk3 Golf or B4 Passat multi-ribbed belt, but which Mk3/B4? Cheers
basically, you can order whatever you like go down eurocarparts, ask for 6pk****. **** is the length of the belt you require in MM
I need to know what length of belt I need though to do that. Is there a standard belt that will fit straight on?
take measurement with tensioner at both ends of travel & ask for something in middle! done that at my local factors with off the shelf result
i did that and spent a good half hour pulling all the fanbelts of the shelf until i found the one i wanted the staff there were not impressed i did say it as part of my job creation scheme ill let you put them all back right
if you could let me know what you went for in the end and if it was any good that would be great mook as i need the same thing.
Yes... ...I am pretty sure that the white box on the left was the belt I ordered from VAG and was spot on for my AGU 1.8t, deleting the AC & PS Cant remember the part number but should be able to get it this weekend when I get home.
I *think* this may be the part number for the VAG belt. I threw the box away and can not find the invoice from VAG, but I have found a bit of scrap paper that has my shopping list of car bits on it... This may be it - 038903137G Is that a VAG part no.
...and a quaife quick rack at that. Plus wide slicks and a plate diff. Got disaster written all over it I know....
Just to confirm that 038903137G is the correct part number for the belt from VW Just found the box while cleaning out the garage
Aye, atm, big guns seems like an easier option! Major ballache fitting PS on my car as I have the Autocavan pedal box otherwise I would have just gone for Corsa electric PS. Thinking about selling it, going floor mounted pedal box + remote servo + corsa PS setup... ...like I say, might be easier getting down the gym!
