Title: Rain protection
Post by: Tornado-red_gti on 30 November 2004, 14:25

Does anyone know if there is supposed to be some kind of guard to stop spray from the road getting at my V belt??
I've got a 1990 gti and it squeals like a pig when I change down gears in the wet. My belt isn't slack and I even tried it over tightened a few times but it still seems to squeal.
 
Does this happen to anyone else? :huh:

Yes it does and How fu@king annoying is it  :angry: VERY.

I think i might have seen something about the fact that the pulley wheels are possibly glazed and that the surface might need roughing up? :huh:

Any ideas anyone?

sounds right to me. pull the belts off and scuff up the pullys with some light sand paper. be a good idea to replace the belts too.

Nice one I'll give it a try.
I found out that you can get two different width belts too. I'm gonna go for the fat one.
 Cheers.
