![]() Alrite! Yesterday was quite a productive day at the shop! We had this junk 9A sitting on the engine stand so I figured I'll use it for my mock up. I experimented with several different ways of belt routing and came up with this:
![]() ![]() plz pardon the filthiness of the setup - it's only a mock up from the spares I had sitting around. Almost all of it is oem vw parts, no fabrication other than modifying the main g60 bracket to accommodate the alt. serp belt setup: crank pulley - shaved ABA item tensioner idler - subaru serp belt idler idler - from ABA serp tentioner alt - ABA/VR6 alt (might have to look for a smaller unit) v-belt: aba crank v-belt pulley w.pump - mk3 turbo diesel p. steering - 9A item. I was gonna run w.pump from the serp belt also but that would make the belt routing bit more complicated. I'm gonna try fitting P.steering pump today with bracketry. I hope it'll work out! cheers! ![]() |

![]() cheers!
![]() ok, got the PS setup figured out! Also got rid of the scooby roller; installed oem idler from an aba instead. Anyone has any idea what smaller alt I could use? ![]() ![]() |

![]() Thnx man, I got it all figured out already, xpt the alternator - some say aba alt causes clearance issues.

![]() I would try to get more belt covering the alt pulley. The way it is now will be causing some problems when you switch on a big electricity consumer. The belt has too little pulley to hold on to.

yes, I got a TDi timing belt roller that is gonna go where the top mounting bolt for the alt is; it's gonna give more wrap around the charger pulley also... |

I did it like this: ![]() ![]() ![]() Check out all the pics: album1 album2 album3 I started my own firm in those rebuilds, as wll as the uniball-connections for the track control arms, rear axle, balance brake systems and topmounts.

![]() cool project, Herrum! I'd be concerned about having my alt sitting that low - it'd get stuffed with dirt real quick...

![]() Did more work today...
![]() really can't wait to fire it up! Btw what did u guys do about the coolant flange on the front of the head? ![]() |

![]() Not concerned about your alternator suddenly?
There are polo's with the alternator there from the factory. You can use the KR, 9A or ABF front coolant flange. I used the Bahnbrenner item for tho engines. they don' sell it anymore. I still have got one spare. It's a bille aluminium-item with the outlet not straight to the front side but to the right-side towards the gearbox so you can do the plumbing really nice. it has a billet housing which can take the black and blue original coolant-temperature senders. if you are interested please send me an email: herm@longstreet-engineering.nl i can send you some pics and if desired more info.

![]() email sent, Herrum!
![]() the alternator biz - I took some measurements and it looks like i should have plenty of space for the alt. The engine is goin into a mk2 with a mk3 cross member; everyone who complained bout clearance have the engine in a corrado (maybe they mounted the alt slightly different)... we'll see, I'll have a closer look at this in a week or so. coolant flange - i have a stock one (9a) on my mock up and totally can't see how it could work!!! cheers! |

![]() alrite, quick update - alt is in place. tight fit, but should clear the crosmember. I fabbed up a front coolant flange outta stock one, one of my buddies in EU is ordering me an ABF side flange that accepts a sensor. I also discovered that my fuel rail that i bought used is broken! got ripped off dammit!!!!
