Hi Guys
I know there has been a bit about this in other threads but there is a lot of conflicting info around
Given that my car has still got the original belt and idler pulley on it, I want to change it and get rid of the idler wheel.
I understand that the modified belt is shorter and it seems the general consensus is that it should be 1785mm long (please correct me if I am wrong)
Problem starts when I go onto various car parts websites and speak with them that they are all saying that there is only one for the car and it is 2265mm long.
Various Honda garages can't (or wont) even tell me the length.
What is the definitely correct length and what do I ask for?
I am doing this because like most of you probably, my alternator seems to have the dreaded bearing problem. Is there any alternative for this other than going to Honda for the bearing and paying an arm and leg? What have the rest of you done?
Regards
