Fitment Notes

• Always match vehicle details and engine code before ordering. Confirm exact fitment using VIN, engine code, or chassis number if multiple variants exist.

Installation / Use / Maintenance Tips

• Compare the new tensioner pulley to the removed unit before installation — confirm outer diameter (72 mm), width (21 mm), and stud hole size (10 mm) match.
• Always replace the timing belt, tensioner pulley, and related idler pulleys as a complete set — mixing old and new components compromises the timing drive and voids warranty.
• Clean the mounting surface and inspect the stud, bracket, and surrounding area for damage or wear before fitting.
• Follow the manufacturer's tightening torque specification and timing belt tensioning procedure during installation.
• After installation, rotate the engine by hand through two full cycles and re-check tension before starting.
