[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 621367, member: 20098"] It’s certainly a bit odd, you’d have thought there’d be some consistency. I’d at least expect the ‘branded’ Contitech one to be accurate - if it is normal to measure the inner length, then it is even further from the 900mm model number. I’ll try measuring the inners of both belts, and also the diameters just to see what’s up, but I guess I’m probably just going to have to buy another and see how that fits. Interestingly, it seems that the main VW retailers are now selling Optibelt V belts which aren’t grooved, so maybe that is the answer. [/QUOTE]
