craigowl 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Renewed the ribbed belt yesterday. (Took all afternoon, but I'm knocking on a bit and don't have arms like an Italian mechanic or a chimpanzee!) Diagram in "knowledge base" is for engine with air-conditioning. My C is without it. My question is: the inside ribbed side of the belt makes contact with all pulleys except the coolant pump pulley and tensioner pulley which are both driven by the smooth side of the belt. I take it this is correct? Thanks in anticipation of your comments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 26, 2006 I think thats right - to be honest it will only go one way without being too slack so I think you must have got it right... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guessed that too, but you never know, what with sod's law and being older and much more cynical! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted April 26, 2006 Yup, it'll only fit on one way and the smooth/ribbed pulleys show you which way the belt needs to go. It's a bit more of a mission on an AC car that has a double-sided belt without that diagram tho! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
