All,
I have a type 4 with 911 fan conversion - but no idea what model fan belt I should use - not Beetle or 911. Anyone know?

Cheers James

My 914 has a 911 fan conversion and the belt I use is :

AVX10 x 800La or Gates 6212mc.

I guess it depends on the size of the crankshaft pulley as to whether this fits.

Thanks Roger - is that a standard belt for any make/model of normal car? Just to ease purchase.

Thanks James

Yes it is as far as I know. When my engine was built the guy went off to the motor factors and said he wanted a belt "this long". The first one was a bit short, but the one I've mentioned fits the bill well. I've no idea what car its for, but knowing the reference number means it doesn't really matter I guess.

Hope it works out OK.

Regards
