What is a Timing Belt Tensioner?

A timing belt runs through several of the engine's main components. For the timing belt to work efficiently, it must work at a constant tension. The tensioner ensures that the timing belt is always running at the precise tension so that the alternator produces the correct amount of power to turn the pulleys that drive all of the other components.

The timing belt tensioner comprises four parts: the base, tensioner arm, spring, and tensioner pulley. If any of these components fail, then it can cause the tensioner to fail. When you turn the ignition or accelerate, a rattling sound might indicate that the tensioner needs replacing.

When carrying out work on the timing belt, it's generally recommended that the entire timing system be replaced in one go. This helps ensure maximum efficiency and a longer lifespan. Order one of our timing belt kits to get everything you need! You can learn how to change your timing belt here.
