Belt that fits
Yep, the one belt available for the ALH is priced high. I used a spare belt from my 1995 BMW 318i. The belt fits like a glove, it has been on my TDI for the last 2 years. I just bought another BMW belt for a friend's beetle. It was just 7 bucks. When ordering, make sure to order the one that moves the water pump, alternator and radiator fan on the 318's M40 engine.I was able to remove and install the belt with all pulleys in place. It is a small space to work. You need to take the tension off the tensioner before putting on or taking off the belt and you need to remove the belt to change the idler (unless someone else is taking the tension off the tensioner for you). I've only seen one belt being sold for the ALH by the US online sellers.
