there is an adjuster on the alternator but im not 100% sure where cause its been a while since i played with a stock 2L in a kombi. the bolt for the adjuster is above and on the tin ware behind the pulley

what does this adjuster look like?? im new to 2lters so im a little slow!
maybe send us a pic of what your talking about?
id love to mate but i drive a bug and even the one with that motor is not the same set up. im working from memory from when i worked with my old man. it is a a allen key head from memory. and it sits in a long slot, you loosen it and the alternator slides to the left so you can get the belt on. to tension the belt lever the alternator to the right

There' a little rectangular plastic cover over the hole in the tinware on the uper right of the alternator. take this out and you will see a allen head set screw. This is the adjuster to slack off the tension so you can move the pulley closer and give you the clearance required.

Lucky I happen to have a 2L sitting in the garage.
Remove covers and loosen the screw with a 5mm allen key. Push the generator up and left until you can pull the belt off.

thanks guys
yous rock!!!!:bounce:bounce:bounce
this is the bolt but it wont move!!:cry
the bolt undoes but when i try to slide it up or down it doesnt budge. am i missing something??
do i have to take off the tin ware??
ok THAT BOLT HAS TO BE LOOSENED A BIT ,
then, have a look at the lower side of alternator & you will see round end of another bolt, at the back end of this, accessable from underneath is a 13mm nut, this has to be loosened also
Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54
had to ask my old man on this one. under the car you have to undo the air deflector plate which has 4 bolts holding it on. once you get this off get a torch and look up there and you will see a 13mm bolt at the bottom of the alternator crack this one off a tad adn you should be able to move the alternator
