destroyed 4 belts in 2 months... 200

posted by  someone claiming to be projectwagon on  Thu Dec 23 04:36 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I'm getting better at replacing them, under an hour now -
I've got an '85 240 (b230f) - and I've rip through too many belts lately - the belt set that goes around the water pump / alternator / flywheel (?) -

I'm not sure where the original set came from, the set after that was from IPD - I wanted to get the right size - ripper through those on a trip up to Seattle - and the most recent set was from Schucks - The outer belt is tensioned correctly - the battery is holding a 14.4v charge, the water pump is functioning just fine - the inner belt is too loose... but it's the same size as the outer belt.... I'm getting that annoying cold start screech, and I'm blaming the inner belt... any ideas?

Merry Christmas to all - even Madonna

+ Mike H. +

P.S. if anyone local to PDX has a turbo motor available, let me know!
