Hi all,
Probably a silly question, but I'll ask it anyway. What is the difference between the Gates timing belt kits KP55323XS and KP55323XS-1?. The only notable difference is a difference part number for one pulley, but everything else is the same. The pulley with the different part numbers appears to look identical and have the same dimensions too. The only reason I'm asking is that I picked up a van that is a bit of a Frankenstein's monster. It started life as a 2.5TDI AJT engine with the 02B gearbox, but at some stage someone put an ACV engine in it as the AJT died, but they put the AJT Stanadyne injectors back in it, added the ACV intercooler and it's using the original ACV ECU. I was always under the impression that the only difference between the AJT and the ACV was the intercooler and injectors (and obvoiously ECU and gearbox). I've had mixed messages from car parts suppliers with some saying I need the KP55323XS kit as it's the ACV, whereas I've had others saying that one won't fit and I need the KP55323XS-1, presumably because they've searched by reg and it's showing as the AJT still. I'm going to go for the KP55323XS, but was just curious as to what the difference is?
