Identification needed

Posted this yesterday but in the wrong place.

I got this as part of a job lot from a closed down Citroën dealer. most of the lot was bagged and numbered but this came without either.

I know what it is but what does it fit?

The pulley is 8.5cm diameter and the square holes are 4.5cm between centres.
Any ideas chaps? It might not of course be Citroën.Gibbo

That is the tensioning idler wheel for factory fit aircon on a 1.7/1.9 xud engine. It is remarkably rare, and often overlooked* when A/C is retrofitted.

*shredded aux belt, shredded cambelt, smashed valves and a wrecked head later, I now know this....

Don't worry John - in a fit of stupidity I had forgotten that I had fitted a 16v sump, and therefore the tensioner will not fit without some modification. So if you are interested you are welcome to make Gibbo an offer.

If no takers on this it will on Ebay tomorrow evening. Gibbo.

It does sound like Jaba (John) is interested as he has several A/C BXs but he doesn't seem to visit the forum very often. I will contact him and suggest he gets in touch...

Following Mat's generous withdrawal. I am happy to buy it from you Gibbo at the same price as Mat.
