[s-cars] AAN Serpentine Belt Tensioner Pulley Replacement Options

[David Forgie]

Recently on the quattroworld UrS forum, somebody ("rew") discovered a Febi 19734 pulley from a Volvo application (Volvo PN 272136) works(ish) as a replacement 
for the tensioner pulley on our AAN spring-loaded serpentine belt tensioners. Someone local to me bought one of these Volvo 272136 pulleys recently and yesterday 
I was at his shop to document the similarities and differences between the OE AAN pulley and the Volvo pulley. 

I have now documented this in a post on quattroworld. It also contains info regarding other options for the same (or similar) Volvo pulley:

There is also Fred Ms serpentine belt tensioner rebuild DIY (that uses a FLAPS bearing like a SKF 6203-2RSJ):

Fred's DIY is also linked out of this serpentine belt info post:

Hope this helps somebody
