Re: Can you weld aluminium to anodised aluminium?
yeh it can be buffed off using a flap disc prior to welding! just dont use a grinding or flap disc that has been used on steel as it contaminates the area to be welded and wont get a sound weld hope that helps mate

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] How tight should an alternator belt be??
yeh your looking for around about 10mm of defection in the belt!! or less than 90 degrees of twist if that makes sense just not super tight or you run the risk of snapping the belt or worse wrecking the bearings in the alternator
