Simon Smith Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Ok so just been out splashing around in the deep puddles, and as usual I lose my PAS every time I get the belt wet. Belt is not that old and as tight as a winged amphibians orifice. So presumably it's just a carp quality belt (Halfords). So what is everyones preference for makes of vee belts?

vulcan bomber Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Dayco belts for me... Not had any issues with them and my 200tdi uses quite a few more than a standard tdi to run it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The 200Tdi does loose the power steering when water gets thrown on the bottom puly. Land Rover did have a cover made to fit under the front of the engine for the 200Tdi Range Rover. Any belt from a motor factor for me.

vulcan bomber Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I've never had a issue with my pas going through puddles or 4 foot of water... I dont get issues from either alternators or aircompressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Mine never did it on the original belt, but always has on this one no matter how tight. Might try a Dayco next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Remove your pas pulley and rough it up with some sandpaper, when I had 200tdis many years ago this would often happen going through a sharp left hand turn which always had a puddle on it. When I got my first 300tdi 90 it did exactly the same thing, the pulley is worn perfectly smooth and the belt can't grip. I used to put them in my bead blasting cabinet and give them a once over and always cured them problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that.....mine is factory fit 200 classic and doesnt have one - might have been removed when engine came out for clutch prior to my ownership. Got a part number or picky fitted?
