Can You Keep Driving with a Noisy Tensioner Pulley?

[DiTessa]

You must not continue driving with a noisy tensioner pulley. Here are the reasons why: 1. Affects normal vehicle operation: If there is abnormal noise, it indicates that the tensioner pulley bearing is damaged. The engine may experience timing misalignment, ignition and valve timing disorders, affecting the normal operation of the vehicle; 2. Causes difficulty in ignition: If not replaced in time, it may cause engine shaking, difficulty in ignition, and in severe cases, failure to start the car. It may also deform the valves; 3. Causes damage to engine components: Damage to engine components may occur, and it may even seize up, preventing the belt from transmitting power normally, leading to vehicle breakdown.
