Useless Tensioner for Car Belts

Based on our own experience, this tensioner is a complete waste of money. The product failed to do its job and caused problems to the car's belt system.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Ineffective and a waste of money.

defective part fits engine parts

After replacing the serpentine belt at the same time, I heard the same noise, only louder. My mechanic told me the part was defective and needed to be replaced. I've just read other reviews that referred to this part being defective. Please contact me with return instructions as I see it is under warranty.

Pros
  • Package dimensions: 18.796 cm (L) x 18.796 cm (W) x 18.796 cm (H)
Cons
  • Empty

. the mainsprings don't last maybe there was a bad spare parts inventory

this is my third they work about two weeks and then they start making noise and the belt jumps mainsprings don't last maybe there was a bad supply of spares. I'm going to put on my third today and see how long it lasts. One good thing is that it was replaced for me free of charge except for my first purchase and it's not difficult to install. hope this one lasts.

Pros
  • country of manufacture china
Cons
  • burnout
