Water pump pully!
« on: 13 April 2010, 11:46 »
Hi guys, Just changed the ps and alt belts on my 16v after getting sick of that very loud squealing sound on revs!! Anyway as i took off the alternator belt i noticed the water pump pully has a much smoother feel to the ribs then the alternator and crank pullys is this right? The alt pully has very deep channels for the ribbed belt but the water pump barely has channels at all  :undecided:
