I thought that it was the tensioner pulley that failed rather than the belt. If you are doing a cam belt change don't cut corners it could cost you a lot of money let alone the grief when the car breaks down.

Not that it matters, but I thought it was the pulley bearings that stiffened, causing the belt to come off and disaster to ensue. I have twice experienced auxiliary belt derailment, which is bad enough but does not destroy the engine.

All kits should have new tensioner, and the tensioners are all identical.

Its the backing plates and lower idler that vary
