Serpentine belt idler / tensioner pulleys

Does anyone know if these are generic (and have suppliers details?).

I had mine stripped at the weekend to replace the voltage regulator and "Y" cable connecting the alternator / starter / jump post and it's cured my low voltage problem but I would like to change the three pullies and belt.

I know the OE parts are around £50-70 each but I believe they may be made by INA and I wonder if they are common with other (VAG?) uses.

You can just replace the bearings in the idler pulleys, same bearing on each one and they can be bought from any bearing supplier for about £10. I prefer the metal idlers but the updated versions are plastic.

Part no is in the picture

That's very good info, thanks :thumbs:

Mine are metal like yours, but they have some surface corrosion. I suppose I could give them a rub down and new coat of paint, no point on the running surface anyway. I may just buy some bearings to have around anyway, seems a good way to go.
