The MK2's use a complicated PS bracket with a bolt practically hidden in the
bracket.  This bolt goes through the bracket and tightens into the back side
of the PS pump body.
Loosen this bolt and the PS pump will move a decent amount.
Thank goodness for the later serp setups, these old Vbelt models are a PITA.

Subject: Friday: Need help with Jetta, final request

Folks, if someone can't help me out with a belt change problem on my
91 diesel Jetta, I'm going to have it towed to a shop and for the
first time in many years actually pay someone to do something as
simple as changing and adjusting the waterpump and AC belts.

I have the bentley for the car. Worse than useless.

I have been to the library to look it up in Mitchell's. Nothing.

I have googled every permutation of words describing what I want to do
for two weeks. Nothing.

I joined every Jetta list on the internet. Nothing at all.

I have removed or loosened every nut and bolt on the alternator,
compressor and PS pump that I can find. Alternator belt's off, I get
that. I can move the AC compressor about an eighth of an inch, and I
have a setup just about like it to look at for reference on another
engine, so I know I've gotten everything loose there. I cannot move
the PS pump a thousandth of an inch without, as far as I can tell,
removing every bracket and adjuster holding it to the block and I
still don't think that would solve the adjustment problem at all.

So, I'm going to ask here, at the only place I know of to find out, in
case someone on the list has done it: How do you replace and adjust
the alternator and AC belt on a 1991 diesel Jetta?

Thanks,

Jim
