???? I don't know what to make of this - will this belt, which supposedly is a shorter length, fit? As far as I can tell, one cannot 'bypass the tension pulley' on this engine, so the belt kinda needs to be the right length. I don't want to buy this part and have it not be correct. Can anyone clarify this for me? Thanks
I would check the owner's manual or the engine FSM and find the length and just get thatassuming the nothing has been changed on your engine. The numbers 2415 and 2612 refer to the length of the belt in mm if you didn't already know that. Could be that that info is only related to Saabs which once used the same belt as your engine?
