pretty sure all the xu10j4 stuff will use the same setup. Sorry no picures though.

thinking about it ay 1.8 or 2.0 16v motors use the same set up. I think even the EW engines are very similar.

yes ithoght the same but got the alternator and bracket of a 2.0 xantia 16v which is totaly differnt ?

Sorry I was thinking just tensioners for cambelt etc. I understand what you mean now.

Theres at least 3 different set ups.

option 1, alternator is on a long bolt and pivots to tighten the belt. Generally found without PAS and AC

option 2, theres a roller tensioner on an arm with a bolt through it which winds down to tighten the belt, alternator is usually fixed position on a bar and car generally has PAS but not AC

option 3, theres a sprung loaded tensioner for the belt that bolts to the side of the sump (alloy AC sump), generally car will have AC and PAS.

thanks richie i have the bracket and three alternators 205 mi and xantia the 205 and mi fit the s16 bracket but just cant see how it would tension as the tension bolt lug is completely on the opposite side, do you have any idea what cars would have the right set up many thanks

I would need to see a photo of your current brackets on the engine and prefereably a side on view of where the belt will run with alternator on its main bolt at least. Sure I can work it out from there and get you some pics from engines at work

here's the steel sump non a/c bracket, PAS pump sits on the lower part, Alt on the top part with a strap to the engine mounting, and a tensioner roller attached to the 2 allen headed bolts you can see (same tensioner as many XUD9TE's)
