Review on KUNTEC Tension Adjuster Pulley Compatible by Lyle Stepp

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks strong enough but doesn't fit my VW.

The tool itself appears to be well made and has adjustable angle pins to connect to the old timing belt tensioner on many VW/Audi engines. BUT. Unfortunately this doesn't work on my 2001 VW with ABA engine, which has a newer hydraulic piston idler pulley. Look at your reel: if it's attached to the butt then it's the wrong tool. I have the right tool, but I've had to settle for a vise holding the bolt to get it (poorly) into the adjustment hole/groove.

Pros
  • Pin wrench for adjusting timing belt tensioner
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
