VT alternators

[jonezy]

are VTR and VTS alternator the same?

also will either belt fit the other?

cheers in advance

[frankie]

unsure.

but a vtr will fit a vts if you use the vtr mounting stuff.

as i have a vtr alternator on my s

[jonezy]

its the belt thats the problem really, think the S alternator is a bit rattly.

shold stop being so pikey and just buy a new belt

basically from what i could work out, theres 2 types of alternator mountings, one with the tensioner and one without. my vtr alternator just slid back and forth to adjust the tightness and i presime the vts uses the tensioner. however the VTR alternator still fits the VTS mountings. might need some new bolts tho, i just ordered them from citroen. And the belts are different between the two types as well from what i can see.

[jonezy]

great so you can just swap the mointings but will defo need a new belt. thought as much as the vts belt system is a lot more complx than the vtr one

[Tim_1]

if you change the mountings you may also need to change the pulley, i think the VTR mountings leave the alternator slightly further out. not 100% tho

[jonezy]

ahhhh bollocks. i beleive the vtr pulley is a different offset. il just buy a new belt andlive with the current alternator for a bit i think.

its only just clicking if you wind in backwards an forewards
