xecoupe Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Hi all, i have just fitted a 20xe into my berlinetta and started it up. it ran for a few minutes and the belt flew off, it only needs to be there to run the alternator but the tensioner pulley it came with is a smooth one. i need to find a ribbed one with 6 teeth to match the rest. does anyone know which one to ask for and from which car would match? or is it a case of taking it around to some parts shops and trying to find a match? cheers for any help on this.

Hello Marty, i went out and bought a new tensioner today with a belt. i think the first belt was too tight and also i do not think all the pulleys are running in line so will fit it to car tommorrow and see what happens.
