Stupid questions maybe, after having the alternator bushings replaced I found that the V-belt is not in line with the crankshaf pulley. The belt is on the outside part of the pulley (away from engine) where it was before. My car is without A/C. If the belt would be on the middle part of the pulley it would be aligned but the belt seems too short.... Anybody any idea what is going wrong... ------------- M3 1990 |

Mmm, some things are so easy...mine has BMW written on it so I assumed it would be okay. Maybe I should just get a new one..But should it be on the middle part of the crankshaft pulley? ------------- M3 1990 |

There are 2 types of alternator belt, I found this out recently when I tried fitting the supplied belt, and it would'nt fit, ordered the alternate part number, and it was fine. One is 10x 865mm, and the other 9.5x 875. -------------
