🔧 Dorman 419-014 Automatic Belt Tensioner: The Ideal Solution for Reliable Belt Tension Control Review

Excellent product Super product manufacturer. One thing though, each heater hose connected to this assembly will require 2 o-rings. So only 4 rings. This carrier short circuited my ring which prevented my car from getting back together.

seems ok important to note does not come with heater hose adapters for heater hose i have new ones in autozone part #27027 i think lol ok then tried to attach spanners and poorly drilled holes apparently one when everything was ok, the second one screw only half broken, cheap metal, now my car doesn't work anymore because of this cheap metal, it's not good when you have a single father and 2 jobs thanks swiss

I actually had aluminum knees, which made me very happy. I was abroad in Germany when I replaced this part on my 2002 Buick LeSabre in October 2015 and it still works (along with the head gasket work a friend and I did). It also got to me a week earlier than I was supposed to, so that was a plus in every way.

The tensioner itself works well. I give it 5 stars but it has added coolant manifolds which is great because they will probably fail anyway. But the o-ring on one of the knees that I put in immediately deteriorated and leaked horribly. Luckily I have enough hands to fix it myself and the aluminum knee upgrade is only $13. The mechanic would probably ask around $150 if I didn't know how to fix it myself. just be careful

This item fits exactly - no problems and no coolant leakage - I can't remember sickle. the belt turned it smoothly. Yes, it's made in China (I read some of the reviews and almost bought it) but the fit and finish seems good, at least in my case. Until I regret it Can't comment on durability yet as I just installed it. Like everyone else, I have had BAD experiences with Chinese products in the past. If this setup fails in a few months I will update. But so far so good!
