Hi List, Maybe someone can help me! I am going to be buying my 3rd water pump/alt. belt in less than 2000 miles! The teeth keep getting chewed up on it. I was told i can use a Gates 7430 belt, so that is what i have been using. Is this belt ok? Or should i get an authentic VW?(Michelin?) belt? Should there be teeth on the belt to begin with? I have heard that that is the new style, as the old belts were solid but made the engine run hotter. I am supposed to be headed out for the weekend and need to fix this thing before i leave tomorrow afternoon! TIA, Paul F.
