Engine & Gearbox / Re: Timing belt on MK2 NA Diesel - 137 tooth?
Hi, thank you, that's really helpful!

I wonder if the confusion lies in that it is a GTD shell but has a non-turbo engine fitted. Which was always going to be a headache.

And thank you for the heads up about the belts too, I am relieved that it has the right belt fitted to start with!

I actually ordered the belt from Autodoc and they only list the 135 tooth variant for this one, I'll see what the local factors can turn up tomorrow.

Thanks again.

Engine & Gearbox / Timing belt on MK2 NA Diesel - 137 tooth?
Hi all, first post here, have a weird one with a MK2 I am trying to get back on the road.

It's a diesel non-turbo MK2 engine, the timing belt needs replacing desperately, so I have a Febi Belstein kit here and have struggled for the last four hours to try and get it to fit, now I look closer, the new belt is 135 teeth, the one that came off is 137 teeth, but I can't find reference anywhere online of a 137 tooth belt on a MK2. So I'd like to know if anyone can confirm that a 137 tooth belt is as fitted (assuming because I can't fit a 135 tooth belt it is), and if a reference/part number would be absolutely brilliant.

Not that it's strictly relevant but the new belt (that doesn't fit) has a Febi part number of 12663 (135X25) 7083.

The old one I can't make out, possibly G1240H 137HL254 but I'm having to basically make numbers up there from what I have!

I enclose pics of the two belts and the block.

I will go to the motor factors tomorrow (bank holiday today) but I'm more concerned if it has been messed about with!

Many thanks.

Jack.
