Gti6 Conversion

[Spiky 37]

Not sure I took one, basically just get an off centred tensioner

On the engine mount there is a unused bolt hole I drilled it out an put a m8 nut and bolt straight through tensioner and engine mount, as the tensioner is off centred you can twist it to cause tension on the belt

 

Simples

 

Been like that for year now and is fine

Ah, I was trying that with the '6 tensioner yesterday, was only trying the holes I'd removed things from, but I know the other you mean. I shall give it a try, thanks!

[helmet421 2]

Ask for a BX 16v clutch

ok will try that thanks very much

[Masekwm 2]

I tried to order a BX 16v clutch today, it confused the guys at GSF and they had to go back to the 405 MI16. Tomorrow I'm picking up a clutch for an MI16 that ended production in 92, is that going to be the right one?

[welshpug 1,661]

yes, it'll be the same part number as a BX clutch from them.

 

189PC0130 CLUTCH KIT BX 16V 77.50

 

 

(found that in 5 seconds)

 

amusingly enough, their website shows nothing at all for the 405 clutch wise, another database updating Fail by the GSF webmonkeys

[Masekwm 2]

Thanks as always! I'll take that part number with me tomorrow

[Masekwm 2]

Crank Sensor - Anyone know the part number for GSF, is it just a 306 one?

[welshpug 1,661]

as ever with GSF's listings, it's listed under a TD Xantia, though when they cross reference it it will show as fitting loads of others.

 

fairly sure its this one, but as ever make sure they cross reference, but if it looks right it'll work

 

929PC0120 TDC SENSOR-FLYWHEEL XANTIA 1.9TD 96> (BROWN CONNECTOR) £15.55

 

 

1920 W9 is one of the pug/citroen part numbers, £22.10+vat direct.

[Masekwm 2]

Thanks as always! I'll take that part number with me tomorrow

Cheers WP, ordered one today, yet another bit my local dealer doesn't carry. Although, having to show the Ford guy how to use Servicebox was fun
