Mk4 Ls400 Cambelt

This is the SKF kit:

Looks like the tensioner has two pulleys, and as you can see this kit only has the one extra pullet with it.

Can anyone confirm or deny that this is a complete timing belt kit with nothing missing? Also when changing the spark plugs is there anything else that should be changed at the tsame time like the seals that go over the spark plug holes?

The SKF kit was finally shipped from UK, so when I get it to Finland I shall take a picture of the set, and we can all see what is the story with it,

Look forward to hearing your opinion. ;)

I asked the company and it seems that the kit was lost by the courier, so the company has sent me a new item,

let see, maybe I get the kit for Christmas:)

Looking at the SKF kit it appears it comes with only the one pulley as well as the tensioner and belt itself....shouldn't it have 2 pulleys?

There's 1 "idler" pulley, and 1 tensioner, which is like a pulley but on a bracket. If both are present, you've got everything you need (well, assuming there's a belt in there too...)

If there's only one pulley (on a bracket), that's the tensioner. You'll need to purchase an idler too, ideally. Japarts do them as separate items, or have a look on eBay.

When I did mine, I got a pump/pulley/tensioner/belt kit from a US seller - it was significantly cheaper than the UK equivalent even with the postage; and the chap helpfully put a low $ value on the customs sticker so no VAT or duty either, bonus!

PM me if you want the US seller's details.

Cheers,

Ade.
