Tensioner & Pulleys are Critical for belt life

author: Editor [ 2010-01-20 12:29:37 ]

We recommends replacing PK belts on cars four 60,000KM or 80,000KM old or older.However the below two parts are also critical for the life of a belt. You are suggested to replace the whole belt kits from the tensioner or pulley troubles when necessary.

Automatic Tensioners – Proper Tension is Critical

When an automatic belt tensioner's internal components wear or fail, it can dramatically reduce the life of a belt. Therefore, inspect automatic tensioners carefully for symptoms such as cracked arms, excessive vibration during idle speeds, looseness, grease leaking from bearings, noise (clatter or rattling) and sticking or seized operation. These can all be signs that a tensioner needs replacing.

Check the Idler Pulleys, Too

Idler pulleys are susceptible to damage and wear and should be inspected regularly, too, especially before installing a new belt. Nylon pulleys are especially vulnerable to wear problems under heavy loads that occur at engine idle speeds when all accessories are operating (such as stop-and-go conditions in the heat of summer). Pulleys can also fail due to loss of bearing lubrication which contributes to belt wear.
