muppetofdoom Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Morning peeps, I need a new Belt For my 1.9tdi ghia x Galaxy (1998), missus has gone and got rid of the old one so can't measure that one and i'm struggling to find the right one now, local parts place can only find belts listed that are either too short or too long, i'd llike to avoid trying various ones for the best fit if poss so was wondering if anyone on here can help ?The belts listed that are too short seem to fail to take into account the tensioner pulley, and the belt that is too long is some double sided jobby that 'aint right either. My galaxy has one belt driving the air con and a 120A alternator + Tensioner pulley (this is the blet i need) and a seperate smaller belt driving power steering etc.Any and all help appreciated...... This is doing my nut in, something so simple proving so hard to find :rolleyes: :lol: :lol: Once again thanks in advace people ! Quote
chrispb123456 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Hi Just a thought, you are replacing the belt exactly as you took it off, belt routing its easy to get it wrong. Quote
muppetofdoom Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Right, cobbled together a compressor with a working pulley on for now, but now i'm feeling rather simple, how the hell do i move the tensioner so that i can fit the new belt ! there sommat with an allen bolt and cover to the right hand side of it (about 10cm away)that looks like it might have some doings with it but i aint sure so aint touched it yet, and am hoping for some fun friendly advice from you wounderful chaps :lol: Many thanks in advance :angry2: Edited March 31, 2011 by muppetofdoom Quote

muppetofdoom Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Posted April 1, 2011 Cheers guys, guess basically i need a long sturdy tool to force the seemingly unmovable arm the tensioner pulley is mounted on ? sometimes i do feel rather simple :angry2: , guess that's why i'm not a mechanic, once again thanks for your help !!!
