CwazyWabbit Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Glencoyne reckon it's 41mm for early pre-TDi engines, 30mm for later pre-TDi and 200TDi, 27mm for 300TDi http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/belt.htm I've only done the 300 tdi which I know is 27mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
