[QUOTE="purpledog07, post: 604490, member: 22687"] Dude, change your belt if you haven't already. It will be too tight and will ruin your alternator bearings over time. Almost all of the Classic VW suppliers sell this one: FB Optibelt 11.3x912La, I have one on my 1600tp and its fine. Its best to get as wide as possible that will fit in the groove of your pulleys. I would prefer to get a branded one but there don't seem to be any out there. Steer well clear of the 'Gates' belts listed for Type 1 engines on eBay. They are the wrong angle on the 'V' profile and don't fit properly at all so will fail prematurely. hope this helps dave [/QUOTE]
