Alternator Drive Belt replacement required - Where to find?

[wested 0]

Hi guys,

 

Have just purchased a lovely low-mileage 1990 1.1 Peugeot 205 (TU1 engine) but the alternator belt is looking a little shabby.

Thought I'd replace it BUT having trouble finding a new one from the usual suspects (Euro Car Parts, GSF etc).

 

Any thoughts on where to get one? 

Peugeot themselves perhaps??

 

Thanks, in advance.

any decent motorfactor should be able to sort you out! 

 

I think they're a 710 or 685mm V belt.

Can i jump on the back of this?? I need one for a phase 1 115hp 1.6. No ac, pas just alternator. 

 

Appears to be 3 or 4 different lengths on the inter web!!!

 

many thanks in advance

Different brands have little bit different coding but it's usually 4PK698 or 4K698 etc. ... "4" meaning number of ribs on the belt , and "698" length of the belt in mm's .

 

Slightly longer or shorter belt will be fine as well .. as you have a bit of space in the tension mechanism to accommodate little bit longer or shorter belt .

 

If there's a lot of variations for one specific type of engine , and the old belt is gone so no sample , i usually use an piece of string wrapped around the pulleys in order to see/measure (roughly) which belt length it needs .
