Utterly ridiculous, you can buy the tensioner pulley with it's bearing for no more than £30 or so.

If it's similar to the V6, one screw holds the pulley, 15 minutes?

It sounds like they want to change the whole tensioner assembly, you certainly don't need to that on a V6, anyone tried it on a four cylinder?

Just checked part numbers, 2.2 seems to be 9157948, it's listed as no longer supplied which is not helpful.

2.5 is 9157962.

I don't know what difference there might be, pulley diameter perhaps?

Unless the pulley is damaged is it possible to remove the bearing and replace with standard part?

You can't get an easier job. I just did it on mine, took about 3 minutes, so no worries :y

I can't believe they wanted to charge £150 for that!

A typical example of VX wanting to bend you over the work bench pulling your trousers down and shouting "pass the lube" :o
