Bought this kit (the factory idlers failed & shredded the belt @ 110k KMs / 65k miles) based on comments here and previous knowledge of FCP's reputation for excellent service.
Part #'s jive with the listed numbers & the parts I received, and there's a belt / 1 tensioner / 4 idlers (2 of which are the same part #).
Problem is, ALL OF THE IDLERS ARE RIBBED, there isn't 2 smooth idlers like the ones removed...
Has anyone else bought this kit, or has intimate knowledge as to if they have changed to all ribbed pulleys, and what hardware do I use (new or old) and do I run the metal shields included ???
Thanks for any help in advance !
* I'm in the middle of the install, but can't go any further until I figure this out.
Please send me your order number and I'll help you if we haven't already. I know exactly what happened here after checking the shelf. Febi is not putting the correct OE part in manufacturer box 44977. A smooth pulley should be in the box however they are packaging a grooved pulley
