Re: Alternator belt issues
After recent posts on alternator belts, just checked mine, and not wanting to start a new post hopping onto this one, the belt fitted to my alternator is 10/1080 but I have some new spares two of which are 10/1075 and one 10/1100. Unable to work out what amperage the alternator is due to lack of markings with only the following visible 321260A1 AND D0141IR any ideas please,

Re: Alternator belt issues
Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to respond, especially Mocki.
No surprise that switch gets knocked out when the belt goes, it's a tight squeeze.

Re: Alternator belt issues
Thought I would add this again so as not to confuse the dialogue of the originators post. Alternator is visible is this close enough to give an idea of its amperage.

Re: Alternator belt issues
To y what belt is on it now ?
1100 is too long in my experience with a single crank pulley
if your alternator has a plug in the back it’s a 65a if it’s bolt on connections it’s either 65a or 90a
it "should" be a plug in 65a for the age of your cooling system .

Re: Alternator belt issues
Please find attached a couple of images of the alternator connections at the back, looking at the existing belt there are cracks appearing between the teeth which looks like a warning to me. As per earlier the existing fitted one is 10/1080 but I have good 10/1075 which came with the van as spares.

Re: Alternator belt issues
Yep plug in ( although the plug is long gone and replaced by single spades)
the 10 is it’s width , the 1075 is the length , so that slightly shorter one will work and give you just a added adjustment for when it stretches in the next month or so and needs readjusting .
