It's not called a fan belt, it's called an alternator belt.

Hmm, my guy has always called it the fan belt because it's driven by the fan.

In that case, try this one: How many lug nuts are on a VW-Porsche 914 2.0?

Look in your owners manual

I will refrain from answering these and let the others guys guess for awhile

On a Volkswagen Type IV engine, what does the Fan Belt drive?

ZV

The alternator is the only component driven by belt on those motors and it went right off the crank. The fan was on the back of the motor towards the front of the car.

I think it was the narrow 4 lugs, those cars were a POS.

The fan is directly connected to the crank snout, the fan has a pully on it's outer diameter, this drives the alternator, the fan is in the rear, not in the front.

Both of those answers are wrong.

Don't nit pick on me. When I said the rear of the engine, I meant as if you were looking at it from the car. The second answer was a guess, sheesh, I'm trying to have some fun here.

Dang it! I like my car, thank you. And my little 914 will pull away from just about any other car of the same vintage when the road turns curvey.

As for your reply, no.

[Evadman]

are there any other ?'s open besides the one on the porsche 914? I have no fricking clue on that one

Wow, even got Roger on the 409 question???

Answer: The combustion chamber is wholly in the cylinder. The top of the 348/409 deck is not perpendicular to the bore, as a result at TDC there's a 'orange wedge' shaped combustion area on top of the piston. The face of the cylinder head is flat.

Ditto. I see them on the list, but I haven't seen one. Do they have to be enabled or something?

those are not the same. Not even close with the exception of a few. They look fruity. They are also in alphebetical order in that above line. Nifty isn't it

Yes. You pulling my leg? Some of the ones Evadman posted are different, though.

 

JC, time to get glasses, these smilies are completely different, notice the slant to them ?


Goodnight everyone, time to put my little boy to bed

I think you guys need to clear your cashes.
