tswhit Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Gents, my 2.0 1996 mk1 just threw its aux belt, after swiftly joining the AA and getting back, I see the tensioner has collapsed, I have searched the net, and this forum, but cannot seem to source one (apart from Ford at 120 big ones!) any help appreciated.

sparky Paul Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 VW or GSF don't stock the tensioner for the petrol models. The only supplier is Ford, or you can sometimes find them cheaper on fleabay. The only other option is to buy the idler pulley and use this to repair the tensioner, assuming it's the bearing that has collapsed. Have a read of this recent thread for a bit more info. Quote
