Hi does anyone know the length of the aux drive belt for my 97 2.1td, motoquip have two listed 1740mm or 1750mm and said take both and bring one back, i think it has a sanden ac compressor not 100 per cent sure because most of the sticker is missing but the last two letters are en, that makes me think sanden, the pwr steering pump pulley is 114mm diameter, the old belt may be the wrong one and could be one reason why it sliced a section off and got into timing belt causing it to jump w tooth, i still can't get into service box to check until i get new password, the vin number is vf38fp8ce80286253 cheers

I had a look in Service Box but I'll be damned if I can find them (I even tried searching for "belt", cam belt, seat belts galore but no aux belt ). However I seem to remember even using the chassis number didn't help as it still listed all 3 possible belt lengths.

This might help identify the compressor viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15634&p=151849&hilit=sanden#p151849

And then I had a brainwave - I have Service Box back-up installed so I looked on there, it's under "alternator and fixings", so back to Service Box proper using your vin and there it is, about 1 inch of belt in the diagram, no wonder I missed it

It didn't help though as it still brought up two belts:

5750 VS DRIVE BELT ALTERNATEUR K6 LE 1740 WITH POWER STEERING PUMP DIAM 117MM-WITH COMPRESSOR "SANDEN"

5750 YG K6 - LE 1750 WITH COMPRESSOR "HARRISSON"

Would the ps pump pulley diameter make much difference?

It,s looking like mine is a sanden so i,ll go with the 1740mm, although my pwr steering pump pulley is 114mm diameter which is a 3 mm discrepancy thats probably why service box say 1740-1743, thanks for your assistance i love this forum

I have had numerous problems with getting the wrong belt so I always measure them or if its broken run a piece of string round the pulleys and measure it.

If your supplier is offering to let you take both then do that and try the shortest one first...that's always my way of working.

Thanks for replies chaps i shall follow your trusty advice and let you know how i get on in due course

Well i went with the 1740mm belt and it seems like that is the right one, can't wait to start using it as my daily driver again cheers
