possible cause for running high temps?

[STORM 2 0]

Found out that my auxiliary drive belt ( the one connecting the accessory radiator fan to the main fan) is missing - putting one fan out of action with obvious cooling difficulties.

 

Trawled through Bentley and ETKA and identified two main belts associated with the VR cooling system:

 

1. Drive belt as described above ( called the V Belt in Bentley!) part no 1H0 119 137 A

 

2. Ribbed V Belt part no.021 145 933C

 

can someone intelligent confirm that I am on the right track here?

If anyone's replaced the 'drive belt' - howmuch?

 

cheers

Damn good question. I've been told it's "a few quid" from VW. It's even less from a scrappy, mind.

I suspect the "ribbed V-belt" is the alternator belt, which drives the water pump ......

(pause whil i dig through my parts pile)

In fact I just checked with the one I got recently - yep, the V belt is the alternator belt.

 

i dunno if I qualify as "intelligent", but there you go.. ;)

The 1st one is the one you want.

Cheers people,

bought the first one today and decided to give it a go .... but couldnt get the front bumper off (17mm bolts on offside are both seized)

I did however fit some bonnet lifters today -- after mucho hassle

Why would you remove the bumper in order to fit this drive belt?
