I can't get the main belt on. The new one or the old one. I changed all the hoses and the water pump. Can anyone think of something that I may have done wrong where it would affect the belt? I was thinking the water pump, but it has that one long bolt so you would have to try real hard to do it wrong. The cooling system rebuild has been a major PITA. | | | 02-01-2010, 08:32 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Long Beach area Posts: 1,189 | Maybe it's the belt tensioner/adjusting pulley thingy? That would be the next thing I would check. -Randy __________________ 97 Jet Black 318ti Sport. Not so stock anymore!....
