I have a 91' Jetta, gas model. I tried replacing the alternator belt, but was unsuccessful. The problem seems to be in the pivot point where the bolt lossens by the alternator. I have loosened the slack adjuster and other bolts that look like they may have an affect on the belt assembly. Could it be possible the bolt at the pivot point has seized, I am unable to turn this although I have removed the nut. Any info regarding this would be appreciated. Thanks, this is a very informative site and I have book marked for future reference.
Thanks
