tensioner

I know there have been posts in the past, but I'm getting mixed messages. When should I be replacing my cambelt (and water pump)? I've seen 5 years / 70,000 miles 7 years / 120,000 miles I've even seen as high as 140,000? I've seen other posts where seat dealers are saying 5 years, but then...

In January, noticed a Battery warning light with a bit of a squeal, just after starting the car. As a precaution had the Aux Belt replaced. Since then no issues at all , until yesterday. Have encountered the same thing again with squeal and battery warning light, noticed revs had increased on...

hi all, right i had the car fitted with a new cambelt, tensioner and waterpump yesterday, i also got them to fit a new Demon silicone TIP. I picked the car up and thought the TIP was causing me more lag and really didnt do much at all. The boost didnt seem to push you back in the seat like it...

Hi guy's, had my cambelt changed but didnt think anything about buying and replacing the tensioner which is seperate to the cambelt kit. Does it need to be replaced? I am also getting a little squeak from the engine bay when its hot and just been started but goes away once reved a...

I'm mystified. I am changing my cambelt and decided to change the tensioner and roller. The tensioner is "off centre" so rotating it varies the extent to which it presses on the belt. Is it simply the central nut that stops the tensioner slackening off when its mounted ie the tension of...

Hi all, New on here as I have a bit of a problem... In short for the last 3 months my 2001 Seat Leon Cupra ( 180) has started rattling on startup. Muffled when cold with more of a whir like a pully isnt happy about being turned and much more clattery when warm. The hotter the louder the...

Hello I have at TDI cupra and the belt tensioner has gone Can you just replace the bearings or do you have to buy a whole unit? Many thanks Marcus

Hello folks, Got my cambelt/tensioner/waterpump/aux belt replaced around 500 miles ago. Yesterday noticed a vibration noise coming from the engine and the aux belt squeals when idling if I turn the wheel slowly. Looking at the belt, the aux tensioner seems to vibrate a lot when idling...

Hey guys, looking to take out the aircon pump this weekend. I have a Mk3 Cupra, probably really straight forward but. How do you take tension off the aux belt tensioner? Do you just unbolt it? Yes I have the smaller belt. Cheers
