Haydn 0 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Many people mention the bearing going dry but can the actual spring loaded unit loose its tension over time? Has anybody experienced this and had to get a new tensioner? Link to post Share on other sites
Timah89 1 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 No but usualy a combination of water pump failing and putting more load on tensioner. Best to replace pump, tensioner and belt Link to post Share on other sites
Haydn 0 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Its strange i have a whining noise from tat side of the engine, only started after a new belt and new tensioner pulley. I have a nother belt to put on incase its that, but atm the belt vibrating alot. If anything touches belt, ie water when washing car, the noise stops for a shot period of time. I cant imagine it being any of the bearings in the pumps. Link to post Share on other sites
