Title: Alternator belt
Post by: Danr on 26 April 2004, 21:16

im gonna change my alternator belt and wondered if there was any point in getting one from VW or would halfords etc be as good because the nearest vw garage is a while a way and halfords is a 2 min walk plus i have to go down pay and go back someother day to pick it up because they wont order something without the money up front  >:(

I wouldn't buy parts from Halfords, only hand tools.
I bought a thermostat for my vr from Halfrauds, and my car started overheating.
VW thermostat sorted it.
Don't buy sh!t...
