Thanks!
The Gates is 6 rib, 37.4” (or 949mm)
The Bando is 6 rib, 950 mm.
Can look up Gates.com for diagram of OEM belt routing. Diagram does seem to show there is space for the shorted bypass belt to mount with the compressor clutch in place.
Anyone know the belt length for AC delete on a 2007 2.0t FSI? Do I need to removed the ac compressor or can the belt route around with the compressor in place? A schematic would be great. VW has too many engine options to get a clear google-image answer. Thanks!
