Alternator Belt

[Sugar Spun Sisters]

What is the correct size of the Alternator belt on a 1.9DG?
The minefield of belt sizes
I have a Bosch 45Amp alternator.
The current belt is a Gates Automaster 6223. This doesn't correspond with Just Kampers belts of which there are several. Is the 1075 the correct one? Or shall I just source another Gates?

I searched for gates belts 6223 and only thing I could find is this

It suggests that your belt is a 10x1075

Are you sure there are no other markings on it? Can you not take it off and measure it?

Brickwerks sell belts.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I think they are the only markings...I dare not try taking it off I probably wouldn't be able to put it back on
The 6223 translation to 10 x 1075 does tally up with Just Kampers belt size...I know it does depend on the alternator amp size, I think there are 2 sizes for my van. It's all a learning experience of course! Ashleigh

I wouldn't take the JK site as gospel.

I would take the belt off and take it to your local motor factors so you can compare it to the new belt.

I would suggest that part of your learning experience be to follow Cruz's earlier link to Brickwerks for the belt, and not get one from JK

I've been in your shoes and phoned Brickwerks and without even smirking at my ramblings they sent me the right one.
