Re: water pump pulley and Potterman

["Potterman" <virtualworld@earthlink.net>]

The basic point is to save your water pump & save your wallet from 
buying another one of those STUPID freewheeling pulleys for 
$100+.   They put that pulley there because the a/c belt (that drives 
the inner waterpump pulley) pushes up on the water pump shaft & 
the Power-steering belt (that's on the outer waterpump pulley) pulls 
down....so when lets say your A/C is on & your turning in a tight 
space that water pump gets beat to death from undo stress of up & 
down crap of the belts.  The setup that Dan speaks of is factory on 
91-92 2.016v Passat's, Jetta's & GTI's.  It's almost the same price 
as the other pulley to convert....but.....you only but it ONCE! 

There ya go kids ;)
