I'm about to pull my hair out with this one... car is a 1984 Rabbit diesel.
bought a new A/C and waterpump belt for my rabbit the other day, and tried putting it on today. Old belt broke, so no need to take it off.
Just one question: How in the HELL are you supposed to loosen up the bolts on the A/C compressor bracket that slide up and down to adjust the belt??? I got one side loose, but there's no way to get a wrench on the other side. It's partially blocked by the compressor pulley. This is the stupidest design I've ever seen...
Anyone ever replaced one of these? HELP!
Also, I notced that the waterpump and crankshaft pulleys are severely mis-aligned. the're off by almost 1/4" Is there a spacer somwhere to fix this?
Thanks... Tony
