Idler pulley issues.

[94250turbo]

What was left of my old idler pulley was just a bearing. The old one must have fell of somewhere. So I cant make a comparison with the new ones im getting. The first one I bought was a metal pulley with the grooves in it. It was to big and I couldn't get the belt on. The second one is a smooth one and I was able to get the belt on but this is the wrong pulley also. It makes contact with the tensioner arm. What is going on here? Does anyone have the right part # for Napa?

Buy this and use what you need. Personally I would replace the belt and the tensioner along with the idler. This kit has the belt guide thats no longer available. Good to have too.

After three trips to Napa, finally got it. It was the plastic idler. This would have been a lot easier if I would have had one to compare it too lol.

Now go and get a spare...then you know what you have and what you need

Gary would that work on the serp belt bracket with the EXPOSED spring or is that a different beast?

I'd buy it if it would work!!!! In a heart beat!

Al I really don't know but for the price thats a deal you can't beat. If the parts wont work for you theres always ebay to pass along the deal. Might even make some on reselling the parts.

And take the spare one apart and replace the cheap china bearing with a quality one. I got tired of them lasting a year.
