Belt dimensions for 250 Gte engine S3?

Post by chris »

Hi All,

does someone have the front Belt dimensions for 250 Gte engine S3? Mine has the latter generator like the 330 America.

Thanks

I got a replica "correct Pirelli" belt from Parker Hall. It's for the earlier 3.0L motor with generator. It measures 95cm long on the outer surface. I couldn't use it because my car has an alternator.

Hi John,

so your car is the same as mine with the alternator as used in the 330 S1. Di you know the belt dimensions you use?

Thanks

Hi Christopher,

I always measure the belt or take a piece of string to the parts store to get the right belt when I don't have a number. With different pulley sizes one car can differ from the next.

Good luck!

Chris, I was using a NAPA belt with this number: 25-09783/7385. If you need the length I can measure it.

If that NAPA item works and you prefer a more "appropriate" Pirelli, here's the correct one. The NAPA one is toothed, while the Pirelli one is pricier.
