[QUOTE="gas1man, post: 620659, member: 18081"] As a general rule , does it still hold where by if you can turn the belt 90 degree's between fore finger and thumb then tension is just about spot on?? I ask this as this was a rule I was taught by my father back in the early 80'S. This applied to our Beetle out in SA, so because of temp differences it might be wrong. It might help.
