Review on 🧰 Continental Accu-Drive Tensioner Assembly - Model 49349 by Dave Rasic

So far so good. Direct replacement for my 2006 Acura MDX. This is my third stretcher. The only small issue is that the top pulley doesn't spin as freely as the old one. I'm not sure if this will be a problem later on. My old peeper made a noise like a mouse being choked to death. I used the water bottle method to make sure it was a belt accessory (and not a timing belt). I then used the garden water hose method to pinpoint the problem with the idler pulley. You know, put an ear in the garden hose (short) and the other end of the hose points toward each pulley. You can also use a stethoscope. The noisiest pulley is the corporate pulley. The installation was a bit fiddly. I went through the front wheel (removed the wheel) and loosened the small screw holding the tensioner. Everything else is fine from above. The noise is gone, life is getting better. I hope this lasts longer than my second 3.5 year old Acura tensioner.
