Subject:      alternator and belt question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

On a recent trip the alternator belt on my 1985 1.9
started squealing--I adjusted it and the noise
stopped.

Now that I am home I was thinking about changing all
the belts. With that in mind, I purchased a
replacement from a well known vendor--the belt I
received is 10X1110.

The belt that is on there is 10X1100 and that is the
replacement listed on other vendor's websites. Seems
to me that belt I received is the wrong one--am I
right?

My alternator is a Bosch AL27X--replacement
alternators (e.g., at GoWesty) are listed as
AL33X--can someone bring me up to speed on the
difference?

Lastly, I assume I have to remove both the power
steering belt and a/c belt (radiator hose runs through
the belt!) to get at the alternator belt--any hints or
tips on tackling this job would be appreciated!

thanx,
Jeff C.
