Technical Broken tensioner timingbelt

[deafmazter]

Hi,

WTF is this Guys? Have done 4 timingbelt changes on this type of engine but this? Tensioner seems walked of the bearing?! Should be happen because is a press fittment? Also dont know if my belt is of time now.

Any one had this before?

My favourite tool shows the arrangement.... maybe the belt is offline due to a duff bearing, and it's pushed it off because of the sideguard.

Does show it as one single part (item8)
I guessed at the exact model but it looks the same routing, so apologies if I got it wrong,.

Seems like the same yeah. Weird stuff, never had those problems. Car was running fine after a head rebuild. Tensioner has less than 200km on it so i thinking of a production fault.

You definitely can't be too careful really, needs confirmation.

Also check play of any of the rolling parts.

The car is at the dealer now. I usually do all the maintenance myself, but if I want to make a warranty claim, I have to hand it over to them.

Car is running again, and got 75% of my money back.

I'd keep an eye on it for a few hundred miles (every week or so), just to see it's not creeping off again due to something weird

Did they change that pulley for new?
