Should all be poly V which is the multi ribbed one you mention, as it drives the PAS pump, water pump, alternator and fan from the bottom pulley! Strange it has single v belt on it!  :?

No all 300,s have a serpantine(ribbed) belt on. Sounds like you have bought a 200 altinator, I have no idea if you can swap the pullys though.

IIRC the 300 TDi alternator is the same as the late hard dash RRC V8 with extra equipment, the 100 Amp unit.  Unlike the serpentibn V8 alternator, which is a bit "troublesome" at times.

If I get chance I'll have a look at my spare, but AFAIK the 300 should be multi-vee as stated above.
