Yeah I was given an 865 originally, but as I say it won't fit between the water pump and crank pulleys.

Perhaps my water pump pulley is incorrect?

Just had confirmation from VW spares:

"Hi Phil,
Yes all 16v use the 10x950 for the alternator belt.
Its just the cars with PAS that run a second belt aswell, which on a pre 1991 car would be a 10x730.
Cheers,
Andrew"

Let this be known, I have been given a lot of conflicting information.

That's good. Mines an 8v, I didn't know they were different to the 16v. :smiley:
