On a recent trip the alternator belt on my 1985 1.9 started squealing--I adjusted it and the noise stopped. Now that I am home I was thinking about changing all the belts. With that in mind, I purchased a replacement from a well known vendor--the belt I received is 10X1110. The belt that is on there is 10X1100 and that is the replacement listed on other vendor's websites. Seems to me that belt I received is the wrong one--am I right? My alternator is a Bosch AL27X--replacement alternators (e.g., at GoWesty) are listed as AL33X--can someone bring me up to speed on the difference? Lastly, I assume I have to remove both the power steering belt and a/c belt (radiator hose runs through the belt!) to get at the alternator belt--any hints or tips on tackling this job would be appreciated! thanx, Jeff C. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
