I looked at howstuffworks.com when you first posted Filthy! It makes a lot more sense now. I suppse I'll have to try exchanging the pump and if that doesn't work then the rack... Won't be for ages though as I'm completely skint now 

I will have to remember to phone you for quotes though!

Yeah its a good site, feel free to drop me a line, I'll give you a good price!

Good luck Kittie, as I'm on for Awesome to look at mine on Tuesday as despite changing the bloody pump (it was knackered), splitting a pulley in half (Euro car Parts sold me the wrong belt!@!*!! ) and then splitting the bloody tensioner (thanks Rubjohnny for the replacement ) the car is still juddering at low speed and the belt (VAG so is correct) is still slipping unless revs are given at the same time...

If anyone else here knows WTF is going on then let me know

ps: sorry for thread hijack!!

seeing as I now have two of these I might just give this ago...but I'm sure i've still got the original small belt so might try that again on the loosest of tension settings as its quick to try thanks for that Ben

Oh, you can't just put the bigger pulley on, cos then the pump doesn't spin fast enough and you wont get any assisstance until about 2000 rpm!

can you not get a shorter belt from another car ??

Yes, you can...I said that earlier in that post! you just get a shorter one from a non GTI Golf
