Hi..
I don't see any replies yet to your question , so
here is my suggestion ..
Get the size and Gates number off the existing belt.
go to your FLAPS with that # and get their next shorter belt.

better still, use german belts on a german vanagon.

or talk to whoever did the work and have them do it right this time,
since you say you 'had it done' ..by some shop or technician I figure
that means.
