Title: water pump/ PAS belt tensioner
Post by: jammac on 28 October 2010, 17:33

changed the water pump/PAS belt today and managed to shear off the bolt for the belt tensioner.

does anyone know if i can get a new tensioner assembly from anywhere? otherwise ive gotta arse around getting the sheared off bolt out and get another bolt. id rather just replace the whole thing.

i cant find it anywhere online. will call vw tomorrow unless anyones got any info?

its a 91 8v gti

cheers

do you mean the weird bolt with the threaded eyelet on the top?

yeah i suppose you could describe it like that.

ive sheared the actual adjsting bolt that goes through the threaded eyelet. i know i can get the sheared bolt out with some easyouts and a drill and just replace the bolt but if i can get the entire thing new id rather do that.

any ideas? ive not had time to call VW yet
