HELP - Bosch fan belts don't fit !

Post by andrew1964 »

the Bosch part numbers listed for the TD42 are way too short - has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone tell me the correct part numbers? I don't want the genuine article as I'm nowhere near a nissan dealer, and I need them now. The bosch ones are going back to supercheap tomorrow, but I need to know which ones to replace them with - any brand.

FWIW, the belts listed are
Alt - 11A1130 (too skinny as well as too short, looks like it should be a 13 like the rest)
A/C - 13A0900 (so short it won't even go over the compressor and crank pulley, without the idler pulley)
P/S - 13A1055 (didn't even bother trying to fit it, several inches shorter than the one that came off)
Cheers,
Andrew

cut & pasted from the Bosch application booklet:

Y60 08.87 - 09.97 6 4.2 TD42 Alt 11A1130
AC 13A0900
PS 13A1055


next line down is the TB engine and guess what...they're the same. Bosch stuffup maybe?? who knows, but they won't fit.
Cheers,
Andrew

Just got some other numbers from a bloke on another forum, which I'm going to try:

Alt - 13A1145
A/C - 13A0950
PS - 13A1255

Hope these ones fit!

These are the ones I've currently got on mine:

Alternator Belt Bosch 13A 1145
Power Steering Belt Bosch 13A 1270
Air Con Belt Bosch 13A 0955

I noticed that the Bosch catalogue was a POS as well so I just used the same numbers as the old belts (that were already on the car when I bought it).

Dont even bother trying to use the part numbers listed in the books, they are never right.

Best bet is to take all the belts down to the shop & have them measure them. Dayco do a measuring stick, if the spare parts shop doesnt have one then go elswhere.

You will never get them right otherwise.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............

OK, just as an update, went to a different parts book just to confirm the numbers I was given. Ended up with the following:

Alt - 13A 1145 - FITS
P/S - 13A 1270 - FITS
A/C - 13A 0980 - Fits, just, couldn't put on with fingers, needed to crank the engine to force it on. could do with being another cm longer. idler pulley down as far as it can go, it's bloody tight, but it's on!
