Novasbelt has snapped, halfords don't carry 1.2 ones anymore so i'm making a leap of faith and swapping the pulleys and belt off the dead 1.3 (cannae remember if it works but i need the car tonight lol) alls I need toknow as soon as is are the water pumps the same?

Square tooth 13s and square 12st


Help soon please it's bloody freezing!!!

[General Baxter]

iv got a brand new square tooth belt and water pump, but ill have to ask the cat if you can have it lol

[brownbear]

anybody???

[General Baxter]

your going to have to swap everything,

cam pulley, crank pulley and water pump if you want to use the round tooth

[Asa-James]

Bax your a leg end

[George g]

Aren't they essentialy the same engine, but with the bore & stroke altered? So based on that theory then they would be fine.

Also if it helps, I understand that you can use a square tooth belt on a round tooth pulley, but not the other way round!

[General Baxter]

just jump in the cav buss and come and get the belt iv got here, you will be home by 9.30 lol

[Adam]

What?
Whats snapped? Alternator belt? Cambelt?

1200 and 1300 carb engines use the same shape belt teeth, so w/pump etc SHOULD be identical

[Asa-James]

Nab ones deffo round and ones square. epic phail tho, the spare belt I thought I had for the 1.3 was my old cav belt. New belt to buy tomorrow, woopwoop...

[craig green]

Would the heaight of the block be different (length of belt)?

[Asa-James]

No, I thought that and offerred the dead belt u to my 1300 block and it's the same height

[mowgli]

the actual blocks are the same height, sticking s/h water pumps in is a dodgy practice, cos they are usually knackered once you manage to get them out.

[Asa-James]

Blue silicone ;) lol I know it's not best practises but cosidering the cirumstances and the fact the engine will be out anyway within 3 months I wasn't too bothered

[MK999]

Blue silicone ;)

Excellent choice, although I do prefer the "OEM" look of black myself lol

[Sloth]

partco and baynes still list the round tooth belt, its £12.

[Asa-James]

I've paid 8 for a square tooth, and when the 1.3 goes in shortly I'll swap it all back over
