I had the serpentine tensioner pulley go the other day. I had just replaced this thing probably not more than a year and a half ago or so, luckily I had the old one as it was the spring end that went the last time. So I'm looking for another one as the one on there I'm sure is still the original, and it's days surely have to be numbered. I've noticed some which appear to be cheaper one's on e-bay as they look similar to the one I replaced. Then I've come across some which claim to have a bigger bearing. Any thought's appreciated.
Thanks.
Well you kinda have us at a disadvantage here.
Our IDI engines don't have serps first of all so can we assume you are referring to a TDI engine? If so you have this in the wrong section.
Then how about a link to the E Bay listing so we can see what you are talking about.
didn't 1.9 idi come with a serp in the mk3 ?
You could be right I believe.
Those of us in the US are sheltered
Just a thought... putting your location in your profile is a good idea, since different regions got different diesels at different times. In particular, we Canucks got the AAZ early. :wink:
