Auxiliary belt replacement

[Swompy 0]

One if the jobs that needs doing on my new corrado is the auxiliary belt is quite squeaky so I want to replace it and whilst I'm at it I might as well do the tensioner bearing as detailed in this guide

I'm having trouble finding the exact bearing quoted, will this one fit bearing size 17mmx40mmx12mm?

Also any recommendations for replacement belts?

I always use continental belts.. find all others squeal, if you have air conditioner you need a longer double sided belt.

X2 for conti. Can't help with baring though. I do have a spare tensioner if you need one though buddy

Pop on eBay for the bearing mate - plenty of vendors listing it.

 

Done the job myself on my old VR quite a few years ago and it was easy enough.. just used a vice for pushing the old bearing out and new one in with appropriately sized sockets :)

That's where I'm looking for the bearing him but cannot find the exact one listed (well in the US I can but not UK)

 

The link I posted above is to one similar but not 100% if it'll fit

It needs to be 6203-2RS, so the sizes you have posted above are correct.

 

I'd use a Gates belt :)

Ahh nice. That's the one I could find just the one quoted has it as 6203-2RS1 which is what made me unsure if I had the right one or not

Hiya - did you get this sorted in the end?

 

I've just pressed the bearing out of mine as it was dry... the closest I could find was this one..

I need to do this, replaced the whole tensioner with an INA item but started making a noise after a few thousand miles.

Ordered this today after contacting the company - apparently the correct part

I've deleted the air-con on my car, is there a different bracket for the PAS pump on non-air-con cars?
