aux belt
« on: 31 July 2009, 18:10 »
hey all a friend of mine at work who has a 1.8 golf mk3 looked at my car today and said my aux belt was on wrong i was wondering should the belt be over or under the water pump as mine was over ive swapped it round to see if it would fit the other way and it does but ive not let it get warm in case it overheats by the way it is a 8v gti thanks

Theres 2 belts,one drive the alternator and this is the fatter belt of the two and the thinner belt goes around the other 3 pulleys,nothing goes under anything the belt in question goes around the outside of the 3 pulleys to make kinda an off circle.

TBH I'm unsure if it is the water pump at the bottom, but the belt goes like this:

I think it is the w/p the other belt is for the power steering pump anyway the belt should be on the pulleys there is no where else for it to go, usually grooved belt and pulleys.

Yeh there is only one way for this belt to go on as it is grooved?! anyway it goes round the outside of the pulleys the grooves sit in the grooves.
