Timing Belt Tensioner Video 

The timing belt tensioner plays a critical role in your engine’s operation. Its job is to keep the timing belt tight at the proper tension so the belt can move smoothly and keep the crankshaft and camshaft synchronized. If the tensioner begins to wear out or fail, the timing belt may loosen, slip, or wear unevenly, which can lead to major engine problems.

Because the timing belt tensioner works so closely with the timing belt system, it is often inspected and replaced when wear is found or when timing system service is due. Replacing a worn tensioner helps protect the belt, maintain proper engine timing, and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
