I think that its a 137 tooth kit whereas the tensioner on the right is off a 136 tooth kit.... i'm sure someone will come along and correct me if i'm wrong!  ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

the one on the left will not fit. the kit was apparently for gti6/vts so is the tensioner for vts. the guide was the same tho________________________________________ Silver 6 |

As above, you need to take the kit back and get the 136 tooth kit.________________________________________ Rich |

Those tensioners are not bad really, the V6 uses them and never get changed until the 2nd belt around 145,000 miles, Saves sticking too much tension on the belt, But more hassle to fit on the 6 engine________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |
