Hi all,
I am currently in the process of recommissioning a 1987 Hymer 544 - Fiat 2.5d based (non turbo).
I am now on my 3rd alternator/aux belt in about 500km. I pulled this van out of the hedge it had been parked under for 5 years a few months ago and got it running and MOT'd. Now running fine (after slipped diesel pump timing....another story!)
Now the van seems to be eating aux belts...they squeal, slip then shred. Have tried different lengths etc, re-tensioning...all failed so far.
Has anyone got a definitive length, width, depth etc for these belts or any other ideas?
I am going to check all pulleys again. Is it possible the alternator could have been incorrectly re-fitted after cam belt work (s) were done....I haven't tried taking this off yet, does it have shims etc?
Thanks for any help, hints and tips
Cheers
Chris
