[QUOTE="Peter Good, post: 592718, member: 13547"] Mike, on a stock set up, the solution is more often than not a lack of shims as you suggest. As a guide, if you check some of the period photos published by VW, the pulley nut is always at the end of the shaft with no threads visible. Conversely, if 2 or more threads are visible, it is a good and reliable indicator some shims are needed. I have seen some making statements that x number of shims are needed, (in total) I question the accuracy of this definition. Personally, I always ensure the nut end is in line with shaft end. However, the situation gets more complex with the many aftermarket pulleys and other belt arrangements. Peter Good [/QUOTE]
