Stops people puting their fingers in the pulley.

15 bucks for a fan belt is cheap

You could try getting it reviewed in the Australian VW magazine.

Syngear wrote: Some advantages:

- A normal v-belt at maximum load takes about 500 Watt additional power for driving the fan / generator unit of the VW Beetle for overcoming the deformation force.

- The steel belt gives the engine more freedom for speeding up, because the force transfer is smoother than when running a rubber belt.

- The steel belt has no problems with high temperatures.

- No problems of loosing the belt at high engine speed when running tuned engines because very low weigth and therefore low centrifugal force.

- Very low industrial foot print because belt can be assembled by hand.

120 deg Celcius Nylon for pulleys may not be good enough for these aircooled buggers i imagine it gets quite hot in there sometimes.
