The AD does say that the engine needs to be rebuilt. My guess is that it may have overheated a time or two. It kind of makes you wonder why someone would go to all the trouble to bastardize the charging system when it would probably take less time to do it right. I understand what people do out of necessity when parts are scarce, but the correct parts are not scarce in the USA.

Boy, that's scary-looking. The V-belt doesn't even contact the stock pulley for 90°, it just HAS to be slipping. Standard engineering practice would call for around 150° "wrap angle" http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=594494 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
