y is mine different? where it the tensioner pulley on that pic? i cant understand it. im assuming mine has a/c. in the dash there is a hit/cold blower control and it says air con on it. would it still say this if the car didnt have air con?
on my car the tensioner pulley is the furthest left and it goes straight down from there??!

Is it a right hand drive? That may be the problem.

thanks 4 the help with the components! i dont have the old belt anymore, stupid me threw it away!
i tried the 3rd one and again its about an inch too short. the tensioner was all the way down and there was no stretching it under the idler pulley. gggrrrr so annoying.
im just gonna go in the shop and say give me one 1 inch longer than this!

Wow. What a pain. Once you find the right one be sure to keep the part number in a locked fireproof safe for when you need a belt again. lol.
