With the amount of torque needed to drive the A6 compressor, two belts should have been standard on all models to reduce belt stretching.
I have noticed that if the A/C belt is not gorilla-tight, the bottom of the belt flaps a lot and was actually cutting through the lower radiator hose.
My '86 has a similar problem, but not as bad. Of course it has the R4 compressor...
The cheesy cogged belts stretch even more, making the problem worse.
Anyone know where i can get a non-cogged variety? All the big local chain stores only carry the cogged ones for 1972...
