Title: 2.6 Cambelt Kits
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 03 July 2012, 18:27:37

Hi Guys

I'm trying to ascertain the difference between the early 2.6 (Eg Y reg) and late 2.6 (Eg 52 reg) cambelt kits.

The earlier 2.6 kit is 9201887
The later 2.6 kit is 93172354

I am guessing the earlier one has an adjustable lower idler, and the later one a fixed idler, so not worried about lower idler.

What I want to know is - are the back plates (for the tensioner and upper idler) the same? Are they stamped with the same markings?

Cheers,
James

just from the video james it's the backing plates that are different and have different marks and are not interchangeable
