Greystoke Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The drive belt tensioner is lining up where the red mark is in the picture. Does this mean the belt needs to be replaced or the tensioner is at fault. http://itvault.com/supra/ten.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 i would imagine that the tentioner is getting to the point where it cant tention anymore, try a new belt as the belt could have stretched or the tentioner it's self maybe in need of replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 if you're going to the bother of replacing one of these items then you may as well do both imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignum Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Yeah if youve got loads of dosh to throw at it, the tensioners are pretty pricey, just changed mine as the bearing had alot of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five minutes fitting a new belt would be the most sensible thing to do. The chance of the tensioner being the problem is remote, in my opinion.
