Default PorKen Tensioner Parts from Audi

A number of people have asked me if I can supply the Audi parts that compliment PorKen's new tensioner.
Thanks to Ken for allowing me to post this information.

Parts are now in stock and priced as follows -

Tensioner 078 109 479 E $79.95
Lever 078 109 487 A $27.95
Pulley - GMB 078 109 243 R $27.95
Pulley - Ina 078 109 243 R $54.35

There is a choice of manufacturer on the pully - INA is the OEM
All plus shipping

Roger's price is excellent, much better than I've paid.

<- I bought the INA pulley for my (3) installs, after comparing the two. (The GMB has a green bearing seal.)

The INA has a nicer chrome finish on the pin/axle, and the bearing has a better 'feel' to it. The bearing is massive on both (compared to the stock 928 pulley), so it's likely fine.

INA is made in Japan, GMB, Taiwan.

Steve, you need all the parts, including the tensioner Roger has listed. Look at Porken Avatar, you will see the tensioner. Porken tensioner parts include everything but what Roger has listed.

Ken dosent have a price on the site i assume because Roger has become exclusive distributor. (Good score Roger) Seriously, get this thing on more cars and into the english magazines, i doubt some in Euro land even know of this thing.

Ken doesnt have a price on his site as he doesnt stock things like this.

He does group buys of things and lets ppl buy them at a group buy.

Same with all his little things.

Making things like this gets VERY pricey, so he cant afford without jacking the prices of the bits way up to keep a nice stockpile of them for sale for when someone finally does decide to buy one.

There was a price recently but stock must now be exhausted.

I just checked the version we got as the early birds..............it was the INA brg pulley.
