swoping water pumps help please

hi there, ive come to put my alternator belt on, i can put that on, but cant put my water pump belt on as i am using the 2litre block, which had power steering, but i dumped the power steering pump and thats what you use to tension the water pump. now i cant use the same belt as the alternator as the water pump puly sits to far out and not inline with the alternator pully, i thought, not a problem ill just swop the water pumps over to the mk1 gti ones, checkd part numbers, and they are the same on euro car parts as my water pump on the 2litre block, so im stuck now, do i swop it for the mk1 gti water pump so the pully will sit ferther in (thats if it is compatable??) but im sure the part numbers where the same. (unless its me being tierd and mixing numbers up  )

Have you fitted the alternator on the correct side of the bracket ?
Yes then you need to look at the bottom crank pulley does this line up with the water pump ? Yes ? Then its the alternator thats the problem . And may be in correctly fitted or the wrong one for your new application .

Can you take some pics mate ? Better advice can then be offered .

Cheers ………

sorted it now,
lookd at a mats mk1 and found the pully on the water pumps are diffrent, mines flat, his one is kinda resessd sits back on its self. looks like a trip down the old breakers yard for that and a inlet manifold and carb, then she can be fired up  :twisted:
