gtiles85 0 Posted September 17, 2008 Hi, I am in the process of doing a gti6 engine conversion to my 205 but i have got a quiery. My 205 doesn't have power steering and the gti6 does, so did the 309 i got it out of. The problem i have got now is with the drive belt. Me being me, i just assumed that the gti6 drive belt was tentioned by the alternator, but its not. The question i want to know is how do i get round it, i was thinking about just leaving the power steering pump there so its working as a runner pulley, but if i did that would it seize up ? Thanks in advance ! Les. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peetypug 5 Posted September 17, 2008 you can remove the PS pump then get a 8v alternator tensioner and alter it so you only run the the alternator on a shorter belt try this for a start will have a look for more in a min Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boldy205 75 Posted September 17, 2008 If you look at where the crank pully and the Alt pully are, about half way between the two is a M8 hole, to which i have fitted an old GTI6 manual cambelt tensioner pully to. I havent yet chewcked if it will work but looks VERY good!! Thanks to a certain chap on this forum for that one, cant remember who though sorry!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
