Does a Faulty Tensioner Pulley Affect Engine Power?
1 Answers
Tensioner pulley damage affects engine power. Here are the relevant details: Function: The tensioner's role is to guide and maintain proper tension on the engine's timing belt or timing chain, keeping it in optimal tension state. Generally divided into hydraulic and mechanical types, both can automatically adjust the tension of timing belts and chains. Vulnerable Component: The tensioner pulley is a wear-prone part in automotive components. Belts tend to stretch over time - some tensioners can automatically adjust belt tension. Additionally, tensioner pulleys enable smoother belt operation with reduced noise and prevent slippage.
