mojojo Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Recently purchased a new belt for my 95 R, and after removing the old belt, I notice the new belt is probably 4" shorter. What gives? Part number for the new belt is: 6pk1625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 There were two different ways to route the belt in 95. Maybe someone with VADIS will post a pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojojo Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Yeah, I'm hearing about this now, supposedly one way is with idler between P/S and Alt and the other is Alt and A/C. Apparently someone who knows more than I do thinks one way is better for the Alternator therefore, it charges better...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonutsDemise Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 with the newer routing of the belt i think you should have a 1743mm belt not 1625mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcone Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 either way they gave you the wrong belt. I've used the same one to route two different ways on my 94. You sure you didn't get an ac less belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bah Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 http://www.volvospeed.com/Repair/850_serp.pdf Like said above, they gave you the wrong belt if the new one is shorter. New one should be longer then your old one or identical if its the new routing method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojojo Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Took the belt back to PepBoys today, and they told me again that this was the correct belt... I got a refund and will visit my local Oreilys in the coming days. So, belt should be slightly longer and use newer routing, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the commissar! Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 either way they gave you the wrong belt. I've used the same one to route two different ways on my 94. You sure you didn't get an ac less belt? Nope...AC delete has an idler pulley in the place of the AC compressor so same belt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcone Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Nope...AC delete has an idler pulley in the place of the AC compressor so same belt... Nope.... Mine doesn't, that is for sure. I have yet to see an idler pully in the ac compressor location that is stock, and not added. Usually people put them on so they can run the same belt, because it is almost impossible to get an oem a/c less belt (unless you like shipping from europe). I could be wrong, but I have seen two factory a/c less cars here, neither had the pully. I looked at one when I did my ac delete so I could get a belt length, because they were running serp belts from a 4.6l merc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
