It's usually written on the belt with a "code". Something like 10x### - meaning width & lenght in mm. There are two sizes, depending on which water pump pulley is on your engine.
It's either 10x825mm (smal pulley) or 10x835mm (large pulley).
It's either 10x825mm (smal pulley) or 10x835mm (large pulley).

Take the belt along to a motor factors and they'll match it up.

This is the large one:

This is the smal one:

I think the difference in shape is quite obvious, isn't it?
If you'r unsure, follow 'Ethel's instructions
