Gates/Ktec timing belt kit issue?

[gogsie]

Just had a call from the mechanic doing my timing belt change, He tells me that the lower idler pulley is wrong and has the wrong bolt hole size (too big).

Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem before with this kit?.

2 kits, one for ph1 engine one for ph2, the difference between the two kits, is the problem you are descirbing i believe.

mmm thought as much, I did specify ph1 172 when ordering but obviously there's been a c**k up!!!.

Can you please quote the part no. from the box? If there has been a picking error we will of course remidy immediately.

I'll be phoning today sean, wasn't having a go just didn't realise there may be 2 different kits.

It seems the c**k up was on my end and NOT KTEC, the lower idler pulley is different on the ph1 and ph2 and it looks like my car has had an engine swap or had a ph2 kit fitted at some stage in its life.

Hopefully get it sorted tomorrow when i'll have both kits at hand.

I'll post pics up so everyone can see whats what.
