USA issue MK 3 all had PS. > There is a chance that the ultra low Hp Canadian issue non turbodeisel and the single point injected gas may have not had PS.
My factory shop manual shows all PS . along with the Canadian engines.
Edit, checked just now in the book. No mention of nonpower and the statement that" all models covered in this book have PS.". A3 all 1993 -1999.
The normal situation over the years is to leave the belt very loose so that it leaves the car, along with removing the fluid from the pump.
This is only done if the rest of the field has out- qualified you.
You should be able to find the PS HP value from any of the Bpsec guys, David for sure as he dynoed the Mazda in box stock form and maybe the grassroots car.
IMHO you would fail protest without PS. No place does it say that you need the belt or what the tension must be. FWIW there is about as much power iin the alt system..
