Hie guys
I have a jetta 4 alh (seemingly a 2000-2002 model) which i want to get up and running despite the fact that it has been parked for quite a long time.
So i have just found out that it has a missing serpentine (alternator) belt, may someone please recommend the correct belt size for me because at the local dealership they have already given me three belts which i returned to them as they were either too big or too small.
What size is the serpentine belt ?
Thanks

Re: DIY a scrappy jetta 4 tdi
I wasn't aware that there were any ALH's running in SA. I thought the Mk4 TDI only used the AHF here. Could this be a source of the confusion?
Unfortunately, the Bosch online catalogue doesn't specify serpentine belts - neither for the AHF, nor the ALH.

Re: DIY a scrappy jetta 4 tdi
Yes, I know. The ALH has the same block, head, turbo etc., but slightly lower power, I think because there is a smaller piston in its VE pump.
But the actual point for this thread is, if the engines are "basically" the same, does that include the serpentine belts?

Re: DIY a scrappy jetta 4 tdi
The ALH engines according to me is only available in America. So you must have an import engine in your car. Here in South Africa you only have the AHF engines.
