    Tensioner pulley AKL engine code desperately needed

    Does anyone near the central coast area have a decent condition 01 MK4 1.6 tensioner pulley not being used???? Need a new belt and tensioner, Bursons wanted $300 for the kit!

    Try Europarts in Gosford, or Tooleys in Hornsby.

    They'll be cheaper for sure.

    Not quite sure if it's called the timing belt, it's the one that runs the alternator, a/c etc?

    Yes that's the one, from what I've found it's the poly-v belt

    Hmm would anyone know if there's a chance of tightening the tension on the tensioner or once it's a bit loose replace it?

    If the nut/bolt is tight, but theres still play in the pulley, it means the bearing is worn out.
