Hi hope some can help.. im now having my 3rd engine built up since ownin my scoob (not a lot of luck up til now).. so havin a new engine built up. I thought i had a good set of idlers (think thats how you spell it) (the little wheels the cambelt goes around) but have been told today by the engineering firm that both my sets are badly worn.
So does anyone know anywhere where i can get new idlers for my car for resonable money.. i am almost broke now thanks to this car and need to get some to complete the engine.. any help would be really appreciated.. I don't mind if there non genuine or anything like that just as long as there up to the job..
thanks

 

Do you mean the big black/grey ones which have teeth cut for the belt, ie the cambelt pullies. I recently noticed one of the idler bearings had play when I changed the cambelt on my STi. I took it to a local bearing supplier who gave me an exact match, pushed the old one out and pushed the new one in. cost £8.50. Bargain.

Send a pic if you are unsure.
