Ive been looking for an answer but cant find anything. Can i run a multi-v belt when i put my c20xe into my corsa?

I know on a nova you have to swap the multi setup for a single-v when putting a c16xe in, so im assuming the multi-v will fit ok? None of the conversion guides state what i need either.

Im not running power steering either, anyone know a multi-v belt that will fit?

thanks, Rich

Both me and B3KAN use a multi-v belt and we are fine.

Do you know what car the belt is from? Im sure all the later engines with multi-v had pas on them? So my belt will be too long when not using the pump

I just cut an old alt belt up to be the right size for the XE and got one that size. Think I got an 88cm belt. But I'm not using an XE bottom alt mount, so that affects how much "movement" I've got when tightening the belt.
