Review on Gates T43100 Tensioner by Mike Ewing

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great OEM tensioner, crappy pull pin

I would give the tensioner itself 5 stars as it deserves it. But "grenade" or traction is weak. I almost cut my finger the first time I tried to pull the loop straight out. I had to grab it with a vise to remove it. In addition, the car has driven more than 12,000 since installation and there have been no problems. Would buy again.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Clarity
