Cambelt trouble.
Hi all. Just about to do my cambelt kit on my 97 turbo 2000. It's a gates belt and on the front of the box it says from 98 onwards and has a diagram of the pulley layout. It shows a total of 11 items that the belt runs around, that's the four cam pulleys, crank, 3 idlers, tensioner, water pump and one other idler to the right of the tensioner as looking at the front of the engine. Now my car only has a total of 10 items. It does not have the small idler to the right of the tensioner.
Obviously this is the wrong belt then ? Too long for my car ? Did they only ad another idler after 98 ?
Cheers.

I've just checked the numbers on the old belt and the part number is different but the measurements are the same. Both are 281mm long by 30mm wide.
You guys think this will be ok ?
