Title: Aux belt tensioner assy for 2.5td
Post by: Magwheels on 22 February 2014, 14:15:46

Would anybody have or know where to get a aux belt (fan belt) tensioner assembly second hand in or around the South London/ top end of Kent area for a 2.5td?

Mine had seized solid and in trying to get the thing to move I broke it!!

I can travel as still got the motorbike but prefer not to far.

Cheers

If no joy here, you could try Landrover or BMW specialists, or scrapyards.  The cast 90 degree arm is quite brittle. Never force it.

Yep, know that now, wow very fragile! Mind you I had to try and get it moving as it was pretty much solid and not putting any tension on the belt unless I forced it, then it would back of after a while. The tensioner spring didn't have enough force to overcome the friction of the mount.

I have found a P38 breakers with one but that requires postage but I hoped there may be one a bit more local that I could get one from quicker.

Cheers for the reply though.
