Fitting 2nd alternator on a 300tdi ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Suvvey:
Aren't the aircon belt pulleys narrower than the alternator belts?  :-k

Range Rover Blues:
Yes they are narrower and there is an extra idler, but I'm sure you could find that S/H if you wait a while.

Try the 100 Amp unit from a '93 RRC SE then, that has a narrow ribbed/multi Vee belt too ;)

Saffy:
Would it be a problem running the narrower belt in the standard slightly wider alternator pulley? the ribs are the same so the belt will seat, I do not think it would jump due to that?

Is the tension adjustment on the AIRCON pump bracket normally? (I am yet to re-install microcat to look at these parts)

should be fine. usually serpentine style belts have a sprung loaded idler wheel that acts as a tensioner.
