Trying to identify an "idler pulley" for a 2000 Holden Commodore VT (same engine as 2000 Buick Regal LS, I believe).

Customer: Trying to identify an "idler pulley" for a 2000 Holden Commodore VT (same engine as 2000 Buick Regal LS, I believe). Can't find the part number anywhere, not even on AllDataDIY.com. It's a 3.8L V6 (I think it's the Ecotec motor). It's the pulley to the right of the crank shaft so I think it's the Idler.

Hi Im Scott I can help with your question.
You are correct the Idler pulley (or back idler pulley or Air conditioning Idler pulley) is the one on the right lower side of the engine. It is readily available after market.
Here is a company in Australia who is a major supplier of these after market
http://www.dayco.com.au/products.aspx?G=1787&P=1520
or in the U.S
http://www.vsm.skf.com/en-US/Automotive/Engine/IdlerPulley.aspx
The Genuine Holden Part Number is 92094003. I am unsure of the after market part number as they vary depending on the supplier but the above websites should put you in the right direction.
P.S its nice to see someone referring to a Buick as a Holden Commodore

What I wanted was the replacement part number. This answer was 4 days after asking the question and I already found the answer. Dayco part number 89006. I couldn't even find a cross-reference for the Holden OEM part number, so that is no help to me.
