PAS pulley out of alignment

Hi all. I just fitted a new water pump and am having some headaches getting the pulleys to align.

The water pump pulley seems fine but the PAS pulley is way out. I think two things have happened:

1. The previous water pump was fractionally closer to the pump, can see scoring in the cam belt plastic cover.
2. The PAS pulley was barely missing the others.

It looks like the PAS pulley needs a lot more offset. The current pulley is  027 145 255.



I fitted a febi water pump so dont think that's wildly out of alignment.

It could be that it has a mk3 PAS pump maybe? There were single washers spacing the PAS pulley on inspection.

Can i get a dished PAS pulley to create the offset i need?

Struggling to find what i need online.

Some pulleys had little (around 1m) spacers on to get the alignment correct.
I've used washers in the past to this effect.

See if spacing some of the pulleys will help.

So i had some washers already but I'd say it now looks past what the pulley bolts can offer.

Have you seen an offset pulley type here before?
