ABF alternator belt hits Water pump pulley help??

[churchygti]

Its the same engine as yours mate,the power steering pump tensions the belt for the water pump,i know yours doesn't have air con but im sure the only difference is belt length.somethings not quite right hard to tell from your pics

I have taken these photos where you can see the alternator belt touching the water pump pulley. Im wondering if the water pump pulley is the wrong one. Which makes me wonder has the water pump give way over heating the engine "headgasket" so the old owner put any water pump on to sell it.

Does this engine have other issues aswell then?

I would have a look at my old abf pump but its at work

I got it yestersay, i drove it 50 miles home and the temp never moved, when i took them photos this morning it started ok slightly lumpy but cleared once reved but i looked in the oil cap and it had a slight bit of white mayo and the water seems ok with no egg smell. Not sure? What are these engines like with head gaskets its done 118k.

just makes me think that the water pump has been changed and makes me think why lol. I need a pic of the correct water pump pulley to compaire against mine, Im certain this is the issue with this alternator belt... I need a new water pump pulley and tensioner and belt.

Anyone else got any ideas

These engines are pretty bullet proof tbh and headgaskets on these are not a common failure ,mine did 170000 and still going strong ,only removed for 1.8t,

Probably a faulty temp sensor you got,bit of mayo on the oil cap is not uncommon in this cold weather.

i think my engine that is installed had an aircon setup but the air con pump was removed which means that the belt setup without aircon needs a different water pump pulley which could suggest that i have an aircon water pulley when i need an non aircon water pulley and belt. ??lol

Think we might be heading in the correct directrion as

this is what is fitted to my water pump and i dont have aircon hench why the belt rubs on it. Cant find what i need or how to replace these yet tho lol

Thanks

No probs mate, so a non aircon water pump pulley and a new non aircon belt and your sorted,happy days 

[churchygti]
