Auxillary Belt (Read 904 times)

Salty Ex Member	Auxillary Belt 19. Aug 2006 at 21:06 When changing the auxillary belt is it worthwhile changing the tensioner at the same time? I'm going to do the cambelt soon and the aux belt looks like the rubber is beginning to crack so I was going to replace it at the same time.

I'll check that when I do the job. I'm just compiling a list of parts I'll need.

SKF (or whoever) must have been tight with the grease. Had to do the same with mine cos it was as dry as a witches t*t too!
