Super torque

[Jim Haseltine]

Not a Supertorque then. Car is a 84 WR, 120 tooth belt, regular section
teeth. The belt that we were given to replace it (non-Audi supply) has 120
teeth but the tooth section is more semi-circular.
Maybe the teeth will mesh ok (seem to when offered up) but maybe not and I'm
not risking damaging this engine for the sake of a few quid - the owner is
already facing a bill of close on GBP600 for parts (Water pump, Idle roller,
plug leads, exhaust manifold, both fuel lines).
I'm not fitting this belt - I'm ordering one from Audi this morning.

Regards,

Jim Haseltine
