PAS saga continues

[Nicolasticity]

PAS saga never ends - my ebay bargain pumps as much oil out the shaft that goes to the power steering only problem is I cant recycle it from the road. Brought one from REN parts with 3 months on it and heh presto works fine no leaks so far but a quick run highlighted that the tensioner is now too close to the PAS pulley and its eating the belt. I guess the PAS centre line has moved forward - is the 182 PAS pump different to the 172 - do I have to change it again?

Or can you put the tensioner in the wrong place?
