I second that comment on Continental.  There may be
some other belts that work well, but I've been happy
with Continental.


Yes, don't you love VWs primative belt adjustment
designs.  I usually try to get the belts as tight as
possible when installing.  This means I actually have
to use a wrench to turn the pulley into the belt as
I'm tightening the split pulley bolts.


How many miles on your diesel, and were you thinking
of changing the water pump at a certain mileage?  With
American cars I just wait until they make noise or
start leaking.  I'm not sure with VW diesels.
