Continental 49341 Accu-Drive Tensioner Assembly: Ultimate Belt Tensioning Solution for Optimal Performance Review

Automotive enthusiasts beware: do not purchase this particular tensioner. According to my experience, it is poorly made and simply not up to par. The pros? None, unfortunately. The cons? This product caused my car belt to go haywire, resulting in expensive repairs. Avoid the headache and invest in a better quality tensioner.

My 2002 Honda CR-V was making an unpleasant rattling noise when the A/C was on and the mechanic told me it was the automatic drive belt tensioner. This replacement seems reliable, fits snugly and solves the problem. Update: After about a year and a half, the rattling noise returned. Revain provides the warranty (5 years) that Continental provides for its products. Speaking to other CR-V owners, drive belt tensioners that don't last long are pretty common.

There are differences between American and Japanese CR-Vs that some parts are not interchangeable such as: B. Tie rods. While some parts are said not to fit 2007-2011 Japanese CR-Vs, some do (and are cheaper than Japanese parts!). This part is one of those that fit 07-11 Japanese CR-Vs. It fits perfectly, although the pulley is slightly *slightly* larger than the Japanese OEM pulley, it works just as well. There is no more noise, it has been working stably for some time, you can not worry about
