What fan belt for diesel Pug 205?

[timolloyd]

I'm having real problems finding the correct replacement fanbelt for my 1993 n/a diesel 205. No power steering or A/C.

Parts suppliers say there are two different types available. All I know is I need a ribbed variety (oo-er).

Can anyone help with a definitive part number or source?

I think the difference is the type of tensioner you have?
The two listed are 4PKx715 or 4PKx698. That means 4 grooves wide and either 715mm or 698mm long.As there is only 17mm difference I would expect either would fit yours and tension up.
Can you measure the old one? or is there any size still visible on it.Its no big deal,most suppliers will have a big selection to choose from.Buy those two,or the nearest few,use the one that fits and return the others for credit.

That's really helpful, thanks.
