Photos of v belts setup

[rutti]

Hi all, anyone has photos of how the v belts are setup? I can't seem to fit the vbelts after water pump change. I am not sure if I have installed the pulleys the wrong way round ( smaller pulley outside driving power steering).

Hi Ryan,

Thanks! But I noticed your water pump only has 1 pulley and it looks like is being driven by the bigger crank pulley. Is that right?

Do you have air cond and/or power steering ? It depend on your existing setup

I'll try to take some phone from my car soon, I have both power steering and A/C

Yea mate, I have air condition like Ryan. It will be great if you can include a photo of your car setup

Some MK2's had an extra pulley, to complicate things more.
The site Red linked explains it pretty well actually.

This is the best that I could take, hope it helps.

Cheers mate!
So it looks like the outer water pump pulley is smaller than the inner pulley which is the way I have installed it. So I assume I'll will have to either remove the water pump pulleys (or the aircon compressor and ps pump) to fit in the belts for ps and air con as it wouldn't fit (too tight) at the moment. That's before even tightening them.
