Default 1.8 turbo diesel

Hello people.....

I am replacing the belts on my 95 escort 1.8td engine,
and there is two types of kits for the 1995, 92-95 and 95-97? or somthing, i cant seem to find out which one mine is as i dont know the registration of the car my new engine came form
(im doing a td conversion on my fiesta) i have tried ford with the engine number but no luck....

By any chance does anyone know the differences between the two? or how to tell the difference? is the difference the power steering pump or air con?
if not i will have to buy both kits and see whitch one is compatable.... i assume mine is a 92-95 as it has no air con or power steering.

Thanks in advance....

Andy

I have spoken to a cambelt specialist, redmansengines and they were extreemly helpfull ! ! they said the newer models have a cambelt tensioner that has a circular bolt hole which makes it non adjustable and the older ones have a oval shaped bolt hole that is adjustable...
my engine has an oval bolt hole..... hope this is helpfull for someone to know
they were more help than local ford main dealer lol
