cupra tommy 10 Posted March 26, 2012 Hiya, so the belts on my corrado are starting to look a bit tired,plus seem to developed a whining sound,so for the money might aswell change then too see if thats whats causing the problem!!Only problem is that GSF dont seem to list a powersteering belt for my car,But eurocarparts sell four different types all with different sizes so was just wondering if anybody knew the exactly size of each belt??? Cheers Tommy ---------- Post added at 8:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 7:56 PM ---------- Ok after a bit of research it would seem that early kr's seem to have a problem with the idler pulley on the water pump which causes a whine,ive taken it off and given it a spin and it sounds like a shaking a bag of gravel,seeing as these are apprently pricey to replace,how would i go about changing the belt system to the later kr an 9a belt system where the powersteering is driven direct from the crank,and another belt drives the waterpump and alternator?? any part numbers and advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

cupra tommy 10 Posted March 27, 2012 UPDATE: I Found the parts numbers for the pulleys needed to change the belt system over,rung VW up and the parts are now obselete,so looks like I shall have to bite the bullet and buy a new idle pulley from vw heritage for £50 so if anybody could help with the belt sizes for alternator,and powersteering pump that would be great??

_Meth 0 Posted March 27, 2012 I had this problem a month or two ago. What i have done is simply removed the idler pulley and am running a belt from crank direct to alternator, then original belt for powersteering. All u need is the correct length belt for the alternator and to remove idler pulley. Piece of cake and works fine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cupra tommy 10 Posted March 27, 2012 Ooo I see,seems like the right idea I think, don't suppose you know what size belt I would need do you?? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 27, 2012 I changed mine last week for an ECP contitech one. Part Number - 202770045 The PAS belt they supplied though is too small! :bonk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild-Animal 0 Posted March 27, 2012 I went to halfords and got the correct belt, there were two variation in sizes luckily I managed to guesstimate the right one. If you can take the belt in with you and you will be able to check yourself, plus they were not expensive either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Meth 0 Posted March 30, 2012 I cant remember what size i got mate sorry :( they are only a few quid so bought a few sizes for trial and error :) 108 sticks in my mind but that could be something completely irrelivant lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
