FTO AUSTRALIA

Hey guys, so after having my car for just 2 weeks, its now garage bound because the bottom Idler pulley pretty much fell off as i was driving last night, i was wondering if anyone has had to replace one of these before and is it a big job?

Also it looks like ill need a new one since it got all scratched to sh*t when it came off, and was wondering does anyone have one? or how much will it cost to pick one up.

If its unclear as to which pulley came off, when looking from the top of the engine bay, its the very bottom one, or on completefto.com, (37-100)

Cheers

Piece of piss mate. 14mm nut on the side of it, 14mm adjuster nut under it & you're done.

You can buy them new from places like http://www.amayama.com/, works out at about $115 landed, or wait for someone like dstocks who has a 2nd hand unit.

Thanks for the info and quick reply

one last thing, what is the part number for that pulley? if anyone knows?

MD366344

Brand new on the shelf in the garage. $90 +postage to you

Thats pretty much what mine looks like, lol.

It got skittled on the road, so its no good

Does anyone know if you can just replace the bearing if the pulley is still in the confines of the engine bay and has not yet hit the bitumen

Pretty sure you can..

Thanks Bennoz

Do you know why there are 3 different sizes stated in the posts here for the Power steering / AC belt
so far i have 6PK1065, 6PK1070, 6PK1080
ANY IDEAS WHICH 1 IS THE RIGHT 1

As for the Alternator it is 4PK940 ???
Thats the only number i can find.

thanks in advance

6PK1080 & 4PK940 are correct.

You can fit belts that are slightly shorter, just adjust to suit. Hence the other numbers listed.

This FTO is like that kids movie "The Never Ending Story"

Ok got the belts and also tried to get replacement bearings but they are not a standard bearing

BSC bearings did happen to find a listing for a 6A12 Mivec with 1 in stock in Brisbane. they have ordered it in for me to see if it is the right one.
If it is the right one I will post the part # .

when I got home and had a closer look at the Power steering / AC pulley adjuster I noticed that the bolt is worn and there is no thread left on part of the bolt.
This may be the cause of all my problems.
Would anyone happen to have one or know where i can get one

Quite probably me actually. I can check tomorrow.

Thanks mate

Have you had anything to do with the pulley bearings?
