Hydraulic to Mechanical Timing Belt Tensioner Conversion AVB

Hello,

Has anyone ever converted the timing belt system on a Passat 3BG 1.9 TDI AVB from a hydraulic system to a mechanical system, and can you tell me what I would need for that?

Unfortunately, I mistakenly purchased the Conti CT1028 WP4 set a few months ago, and I can no longer return it. That's why I'm asking about the possibility of modifying it.


Best regards and many thanks .

Hi,
The AVB is a permanent magnet synchronous motor, right? Was a wider toothed belt, along with a hydraulic tensioner, used exclusively for the loads in the drive?
Just compare the width of the timing belts.
I think you can't revert to the VP drive (maybe you can, but how long would the belt last then?).
