I used the larger (76mm) idler pulley for my 69mm drive - fits perfectly, and less chance of the tensioner bottoming out :)

I have an ACT also. It took about 500 miles before it stopped dragging and making it difficult to engage all lower gears. Adjusting the pedal helped a bit, but not much. After the first 500...

Another minor weak point on the Sprintex

I noticed that my fuel economy had been dropping over the last few weeks. Eventually I traced it to a split in the rubber elbow that connects to the tube going to the actuator. Under idle conditions...

Thanks - I may try that.

I replaced my failed K061015 with a K061015RB that I had bought earlier. I couldn't find a K061010RB. I may call Gates.

Just had a belt fail on me :( Thank God I had a spare. I am running a 69mm pulley with a K061015 belt, but heard elsewhere that K061010 would be better with pulleys < 72mm. Any opinions/experiences?

Is the "Custom Map P" parameter readable from other OBD readers such as the Torque Pro app? If so, what scaling should be used?
