Default 32V drive belt relay rollers

Hi
Does anybody know where to by reasonably priced drive belt relay rollers for 32V engines. All I looked at are in £40-60 range while 40V can be found from £13. Does anybody know if 40V ones can be used on 32V engines?

No replies so I guess nobody knows a cheaper price.

Anybody have the old ones lying around that they could sell for a symbolic price.

I would then replace bearings on them and put on the car. If not then I guess I will have to remove mine, check the bearings needed, order bearings, replace bearings and the put them back which would mean car off the road for a week or so. Not ideal but better then paying full price for new rollers

I can dig you out some old 32v rollers in a couple of weeks. Just cover the postage.

I would like to say a huge thanks to Conan for supplying the rollers. Top man, I just paid for the postage did not ask anything for the rollers itself. There was a little misunderstanding, must be because English is not my first language so I wanted alternator/fan belt rollers but got cambelt rollers. They will come in useful anyway and cost even more but I am still after alternator rollers so if if anybody have them, or if somebody could give dimensions of them let me know as the ones for 40V engine are much cheaper then 32V and I am hoping I might be able to use the ones from 40V

I have had a look and I think you can use the 40V rollers. They are the same part number, but a price check shows them the same price from an Audi dealer.

Here is a drawing or two to help.

Duhh!! I have Etka myself but for some silly reason I have not checked the part numbers. I just saw them being sold either as 1994-1999 or 1999- 2003 with a great price difference so I assumed they are different.

Just out of interest which version of Etka do You have? I am on 7.2 and 804/408 update. I do have newer updates but got error when installing one of them and now it would not accept any updates. I have not been bothered with reinstalling it. Only thing is that they are valid till June/July last year so I have to roll back date a year on PC before starting Etka and prices are a bit out of date.

Off to the e-bay now. I have seen some advertised there as 1999-2003 in the past for £7 and £13 a piece

Thanks!
