The first time I changed one the parts guy said ‘do you want the kit with the belt and the tensioner pulley, or just the belt?’ And I said ‘just the belt’
Then, once I had the car in bits it turned out that the tensioner pulley bearing was really worn and gritty feeling… cue a quick call around all the nearby parts places to find someone who had one in stock so I could put it all together again.
So now I always have both the belt and the pulley available when I change a cambelt, and if the pulley is fine I can keep the new pulley for the next one.
Cheers
