As the driver of a small bumper car, I have to disagree w/this. I have
just as much trouble as big bumper drivers in the rain w/my PS.

Subject: Re: Alternator Belt Splash Guard
I run one on both of my cars. The big bumper cars really do need them, as
there really isn't anything there to stop water from splashing on the belts.
The small-bumper cars, however, have the lower valence(between the fenders,
below the bumpers), that does pretty much the same thing. So far as it
being
a recall, or a free dealer install, I wouldn't count on it.

When my brother rescently had a new/rebuilt altenator put on, in the box
was
a message saying there is a VW splash guard for the Altenator belt. This
sounds very useful because everytime it rains, I know belt is going to
start
squeeling. Hard to feel cool with a squeeling car. I know the belt itself
is
a bit too long but it was squeeling when I had the right size on,
anywho....
Is anyone currently using/looked into this?
