Turkish91 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 As my alternator/waterpump belt is no longer there, I dont actually know what route the belt takes on the pulleys? Or is it plainly obvious? If someone has a diagram I'd very much appreciate it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan-11 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 i would double check your water, u could b losing it if your head gaskets gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turkish91 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Belts are now on, looking at the coolant it did drop some but not much, Ive topped it back up and will keep an eye on it. If it starts dropping loads take it that means head gasket is on its way out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Turkish91 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Seems it, when I first started it there was a load of glugging coming from the water pump and that. Took it for a spin out the village and back and it seems ok, didnt overheat or anything, heaters blowing hot. Just back to normal really Lights were actually nice and bright too!Oh yeah, and the brakes seem like 187472x better! Fuck knows why?! Proper fallen back in love with it again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
