200 tdi cambelts..what are the differences

(1/4) > >>

nellyscossy:
i replaced the cambelt on my 200 tdi 200 miles ago now its snapped again

now when i replaced last time i gave the supplier (mm 4x4 in droitwich)
my chassis number and i replaced the belt and tensioners
when i fitted it however i thought the belt was too small because with the tensioner on full travel(loose) the belt wouldnt go on..it did in the end (with great difficulty) but there was no slack left to take up on the belt

are there different length belts ?? because i think that the belt has been over tightened..

help??????

Dr Neil:
there is only one belt for the 200tdi as far as i know,though when i fitted mine it was tight to get on,but there is still some adjustment available.

SEDDEY:
When I did mine, with a new tensioner, it was very tight going on. When I asked they said there was only the one. When my brother did his he said has didn't seem as tight as mine !!

nellyscossy:
WELL WHEN THEY SOLD ME THE KIT THEY NEEDED MY CHASSIS NUMBER..
I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN IDLER PULLEYS AND TENSIONERS BUT I NEED TO KNOW FOR SURE SO I CAN COMPLAIN!!!!
SOMETHING IS AMISS BECAUSE THE BELT HAS SHREDDED AFTER 200 MILES AND THERE IS NO MUCK INSIDE THE COVER AND THE PULLEYS ARE FINE

I AM GOING BACK THIS WEEK TO GET A NEW BELT SO ILL ASK THEM

SEDDEY:
Please keep me informed.

 I would be most interested because as I said mine was damn tight going on.

I'd rather do the job again than have change push rods from a broken belt.
