Belt Tensioner Assembly (CRD)

[TPC]

I have changed it over and the noise is still there god damn it.

Will get a mechanic to look at it now, may be what Threedogs said, the alternator clutch pulley.

I'd say that's quite possible..
But could also be the ac compressor..
They are common too seeing they are quite low down..

That was my first thought but the belt is genuine and I did try giving it a squirt when I first heard the noise and it made no difference.

Did the tensioner move freely when you put the belt on
or did you need to pry the belt on as if to tight if so
back the tensioner bolt of a tad to allow it to move freely

This was the replacement bearing I was told of.

That bearing is single row. The bearing in the OEM unit is double row. Made for high speed applications such as a tensioner.
The OEM bearing size is 40mm OD x 17mm ID x 14mm wide...
Here is some of the options

• 62032RS 40 x 17 x 12 2 Rubber seals on the bearing cage, single Row, or
• WC85703 40 x 17 x 14.3 Metal seals on the bearing cage, single row, or
• LR5003-2RS 40 x 17 x 14, but the track of the bearing is slightly ball shaped, so not dead flat. 2 rubber seals, double row, or
• 622032RS 40 x 17 x 16, 2 x rubber seals, single row.

All the aftermarket tensioners just use the first option. Thats why they fail so fast.
These are for the direct injection tensioners. Not sure about the CRD. But I believe its the same, just a smaller OD pulley wheel.

The tensioner moved freely when I put it on, I am confident nothing is too tight.

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