Review on INA W0133 1621540 INA Belt Tensioner Assembly by Jason Franco

Revainrating 1 out of 5

not worth it: spare parts

suitable for 2000 BMW528iT, no more squeaking :) delivered on time updated rating October 2017 worked well for 10 months. I ordered a replacement in October 2016 and worked until August 2017. I thought I got a bad one, that happens to everyone, I ordered a new one from the same seller. Arrived on time, fitted the car just right, but this one lasted less than a month. That pulley is squeaking again. Could it be that I have a different marriage or are they all the same? I will check with my local BMW workshop how much a genuine BMW tensioner costs. The original BMW lasted a good 16 years! Given the downtime and key time, I'll probably come out on top with the OEM.

Pros
  • GOLS-certified
Cons
  • useless functions
