Flix 0 Posted December 1, 2008 I understand there are two kits available. A 136 tooth belt and a later 137 tooth belt. Both using different tensioner systems. I have read pro's and cons for both kits. In reality which one is the best to buy? and why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted December 1, 2008 The 136T kit uses a metal tensioner, which is the preferred one but many people. you shouldn't have any problems if they are replaced within the interval specified (36k/5 years) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 1, 2008 The 136 belt I have never had any problems with, Replace them at the time as above and it should be fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stu 18 Posted December 1, 2008 I tend to favour Gates belts if that helps any Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey S 29 1 Cars Posted December 1, 2008 and I prefer to to to GSF and get the Dayco-INA kits as Peugeot used. nowt wrong with gates belt kits, fitted literally hundreds and never had a single problem with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flix 0 Posted December 1, 2008 Is one a manual tensioner and the other an automatic one. Must admit I'd prefer the idea of the auto one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted December 1, 2008 I dont, its the auto ones that break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flix 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Thats what I'd heard. So the 137 is better? One last thing, do kits come complete with tensioner/idler or are they ordered seperately? Thans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted December 2, 2008 nope, its the 136 T kits that have the manual metal tensioner, and they come in a kit if you give them the pug part number 0831 48 you shouldn't have any problems sourcing it as it was used on the XU7J4, 10J4R and the 10J4RS.
