The correct alternator belt for anyone wondering you would need would be a 6PK1033 belt, you can buy and fit shorter but will cause the alternator pulley to click. The smaller belt will also run the water pump pulley to spin the wrong way. My ABF is non AC but both belts can fit. Although long is correct and has no issues.
Thank you 🙌 Yes those crank sensors can be a right bugger! When I brought it as a non runner, the first new crank sensor didn't work at all which was fitted when I brought it, the second crank sensor cut the car out at 88 degrees oil temperature the third crank sensor was the most expensive febi bilstein sensor which finally worked properly, so even the new parts are temperamental
It would settle down after a couple of minutes of running, it would also come back if you revved it all of a sudden for a short while or turning at really low speeds.
@@superbelly427 I would try the change if the belt first, the correct belt you need is pinned top comment, it cost me £10 posted. Other than that it could be the alternator belt pulley, you'll be able to see it clicking and moving excessively if it's the pulley/ tensioner bracket. As a side note my 16v is non AC if you did buy that belt first

Ooh yes, the Cables of the cranksensor suffer bad 😂

Nice example of a 16v, nice guide!
Thanks, Glad it was helpful!
Nice guide this, useful info 👍
Thank you 🙏
Useful tip for tempermental window regulators at 5:26, thanks.
You're welcome!
Does the alternator pulley clicking issue go away once warm? My car has a clicking noise from that area, and I am suspecting that's the culrpit.

@@VintageVibesAutomotive hmm interesting, mine seems to go away at 1200-1500 rpm then come back again before going away completely once warmed up
