Hi,
does anyone know when the improved/upgraded part was fitted as standard ? am i right in saying this has only been a problem with pre-facelift models ?

2005 onwards... Are you having problems?
Mines pre 2005 (54 Plate DTi Energy) and my Camshaft Pulley and belt had to be replaced at 46,000 miles. The pulley rubber rotted causing the pulley to mis align throwing the belt off. Cost me £150 to replace pulley and belt. (fitted at a garage)
I got the part of Ebay from a VX dealer £40ish and the local Mr Clutch fitted it and a new put on a new belt for £90! That was a lot better than the £80 VX wanted just for the tensioner! Then they wanted over 2hrs labour...! Mr Clutch... 30min!
It started here
part number 93172295 ?
no probs with mine, just thought I would be cheeky & ask for the upgraded part whilst under warranty! but it looks like I already have it as mine a 2006 model, thanks for the replies
The modified part is - 24430296 as far as I'm aware
Doh, for the tensioner! The pully is the expensive part! But its normally the tensioner that wears first
