How to run belt, help ASAP

I have a K4 300 belt. Now I wanted to put it on. But I got looking, when facing the car. Does the belt go on the right or left side of the water pump?

Alright but there is no way in hell that a 300 4 rib belt is going to fit on it going on the right side of the water pump. I have stock pullies if that matters.

the belt deflects off of the right side of the water pump pulley, thus spinning it in a counterclockwise rotation. If you do not install it correctly you will cavitate the pump and just make air bubbles in the coolant thus overheating the car. Good luck.

And since this is posted in the third gen section, I assume you realize that the stock belts are 6 rib, not 4 this could be your problem, the 4 should fit on the pulleys but it doesn't have the strength to hold up for long.
