[s-cars] serpentine belt tensioner 054 903 133A

[Steve Marinello]

Tom,

Must have missed or forgotten about the emails you mentioned.  Both Rock
Auto and Beltsandhoses have the listing for the AAN engine, but checking
against the A6q, it is the same p/n.  But, when I check
genuinevwaudiparts.com, it didn't return a part for me...until I removed the
spaces.  And I had just sat down to order it and decided to check my email
first.  Saved again?

What do you think of Moog tie rod assemblies at this point in time?  Again,
great prices at Rock Auto and WOrldpac, which makes me wonder if they have
finally gone offshore.  Always have depended on Moog, and my mechanic says
he's good with them.

Thanks,

Steve

If the photos are accurate, they are showing an A6 part, regardless of  
the
reference part #.  No way to make it fit.

The price also says wrong part.  No one is selling the correct part at  
that
price.

The part is $204.48 at genuinevwaudiparts.com.  This has been the  
subject
of many emails in the recent past.  Shipping is about $7.50.

Any lister find a better total price anywhere?

Tom
