D5 Auxiliary Belt (Serpentine Belt) & tensioner

scott5566 · Nov 30th, 2018, 17:07

Hello Ladies and Gents, I have recently experience a snapped serpentine belt , I purchased a new belt and mechanical tensioner from GSF car parts . Part numbers 134PC0200 belt and 135VO0190 Tensioner. Came to install both parts , thus removing the hydraulic one .
Has anybody got any pictures they could share , I just couldn't make out how the tensioner would fit , the footprint seems to be too large compared to the old one. Assuming you use the same mounting hole .

I ended up just replacing the belt for the moment until I can sort out the correct orientation of the new tensioner .
Many Thanks in advance .

If it was me I would only use Genuine Volvo parts!

Not really answered the question , another one who has brought into the hipe, I think I will stick with reputable OEM suppliers, you can pay for the privilege of having Volvo spares made from the same factory.

Half n half there...
Yes people get too invested in volvo parts being some kind of magical items that they aren't, but then a lot of volvo parts can be found competitively priced and you know its decent. Big reputed brands like gates, ina, mahle, mann, ate, dayco, ngk, etc, etc are perfectly good parts equal to or better than volvo, or make the volvo item.

I do have to ask however, knowing what kinda stuff gsf sell, what brand did you get? They love to say vetech etc are equal to oe when in reality its just cheap gash...

Btw, bought, and hype

👍 yeah Im grammar police
