Hi,

Have changed the belts on my ‘53 1.8t tourer and it’s still squealing under heavy load. The belts that came off looked okay, and not too warm.

So my question, What’s still causing the squealing. alternator bearing, it’s charging fine at 14.5v. Or is it an idler? They both felt nice and smooth when I changed the belts.

Finally, am I completely wrong? And is it Power steering pump on the other belt?

Suggestions welcome.

Thank you.

Tim
