??? Those seem long.  I think it’s 1100 for the alternator and 1075 for power steering.

I also have some old notes that they need to be 9.5 mm width, not 10.  But the only ones I see available are 10, so that’s when notes are not helpful.  Maybe someone is up to date on that part?

Subject: Wbx alternator belt question

Couple of weeks ago, during one of our infrequent winter snow storm events, my alt belt broke. I had a spare contitech 10x1170 belt in the van and swapped it over. Now I need to buy another spare. What I thought was, that the correct size was 10x1165 ( or 1168?). Obviously I’m unsure. The 1170 length fit fine, could tighten it to spec.
Is the correct size 10x1165?

Thanks 

Alistair
