jackso11 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 My aux belt tensioner seems to rattle a bit. It was noisy so I changed the bearing but it still seems to be making noise. The noise seems to be coming from in the part that bolts to the block rather than the end with the pulley on so I assume its something in there. I looked on whifbitz and they have 2 listed, one listed as 'type with damper' and another 'without damper'. How do I know which one I have/need? Or can I take this one off my block and get in the back to repair something? I sprayed a load of wd40 in a hole in the base of the tensioner and the noise went away so it is deffinitely coming from in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 With damper = UK spec manual cars. Without dampers = anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Ah ok, thanks Do you know if it is serviceable? I'm thinking maybe when I had it off the car and cleaned it with a load of degreaser maybe they inside got wither dirt in or now have a lack of grease so needs greasing again. Although I just looked up the gates part and its on ebay for £90, might just put a new one on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

and1c Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Not serviceable. Mine was squeaky too. Bearing change made no difference. New one from toyota did the job perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
