I have 2 405 8 valve engines both in need of timing belt tensioners.
The dealer wants some thing like $150 Can each my cheapest price
out of the US is still over $60 US. It got looking for just the bearing
turns out the bearing is made by the same company as the tensioner
assy. So after searching out their plant and web site in Germany
and faxing their office in Toronto I looked in the Winnipeg phone book
and what do you know they have an office here in town! So they are
going to try and get me some of these tensioners which they have a listing
for in their catalogue. They will have to come from France to Toronto and then
to a local supplier and then to me. So if anybody is interested I can order
I expect as many as I want. It looks like they last about as long as 2
timing belts
which is about 100,000 mi in one car 65,000mi. I will be getting a price
in a couple days if interested write me .
