Subject:Help! Eurobago needs alternator belt
From:M.R. Nimmo

As I'm walking out of Wally World, I spy the first
Eurobago (Rialta-type) I've ever seen.  I cruise over
in my vanagon which has developed the oddest ticking
noise.  I think it is a sticky lifter but someone else
thought...

Anyway, the old guy driving the Eurobago (5cyl
version)  is kind enough to show around the thing.  He
says he's stranded because his alternator/power
steering/power brake belt broke.  Went to FLAPs but
they said nothing in stock.  Tomorrow he will go to
our sorry VW dealership who will tell him, I'm sure,
"we'll be glad to order it on Monday and it will be in
on Thursday" 'coz that's what they always tell me.

We have Advances, Autozones, and NAPA in town.
Anybody know of the stock number for the right part?
There is also an Audi dealership up the road that
actually stocks some parts, so I might send him up the
road if the part of one of the Audi's is the same.
Anybody know?
