Jim 2 Posted June 3, 2005 I think you can drive a Corrado without the PAS belt connected (someone needs to back me up on this one though) but you'll really struggle.. parking will be absolutely impossible as the steering is incredibly heavy! Just get down the stealer and buy new one - cheap and easy to fit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted June 3, 2005 You need to remove the water pump/alternator belt before you can access the pas belt. It's a bit fiddly, but about an hour's job. What caused it to drop off - did it snap? I suppose you can drive it, but you will find the steering so heavy at low speed that it will be very dangerous - you simply won't be able to turn the wheel fast enough (unless you have been on steroids for the last few weeks). Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted June 3, 2005 lol.. power steering isn't exactly an enormous power burden. It might seem marginally quicker but you'll be having such a hard time with the steering, you won't even notice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana Man 0 Posted June 4, 2005 You DONT need to remove the serpentine belt to access the pas steering belt I ve changed the pas belt in 10 mins before it's easy when you know how :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 4, 2005 Didn't think you did either unless the 16v's are different? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mistrall 0 Posted June 6, 2005 well we went to halfods and got the same belt as the one that fell off - turns out that its the one for the 1.816v and it was 2 short to get on - aggghhh!!!! "pause" then we went back and got the one for the 2ltr but it was miles 2 long , do we have to remove the bottom pully to get the belt on? what do i dooo :( lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
