Belt Tensioner Assembly (CRD)

[Sir Roofy]

This part sh1t itself in the Simpson on the Mmetup in the Middle on Roofy"s DI and he had to pay Top$$$$ for a new one in Birdsville. Put a dampener on things a little. We were all spewing.

It did but not this time I got 3 of them plus belts & hoses

Oem tensioners are the way to go. Then either buy an aftermarket one as a spare and chuck in under the pax seat or rebuilt the old one.
This will stop your car from going anywhere as Darren mentioned. I always kept a spare on me the while time. Use an OEM belt or a Gates belt when changing it too.
The bearing used in the oem tensioners you cannot buy. The are a special double row ball bearing. All the bearings available at the bearing shops arent. The right size though but not double row.

Is a genuine pulley only available to purchase or with a kit only? Have only tried to source one online with nothing.

I could not find the pulley only so have bought pulley and tensioner on eBay from this mob.

Yeah thanks. I have had to do a repair on my tensioner bracket mount and have used a non genuine complete set to get me by. I did also spot this on eBay but was hoping both tensioner and pulley might be available separately as genuine parts.

I had aftermarket fitted and it shit it's self 4 weeks after left me stranded for the weekend. Fitted genuine and it lasted 2 years and many water crossing etc no dramas. Just my experience .

I've bought that one..
Bearing is an nks bearing which imo should be good..
But the bushes are shoit.
I'm serious looking at making some..
Maybe even a tensioner change over setup.. you give me your shagged one and I'll give you a rebuilt one with quality parts..
