A-Premium Belt Tensioner Assembly with Pulley Compatible with Toyota Camry 2012-2017, RAV4 2009-2018, Sienna 2011-2013, Venza 2009-2015 & Lexus NX300h & Scion tC, Replace# 1662036010

This item works and is a direct replacement for the belt tensioner of my Toyota Camry SE 2017 2.5L Sedan. It seems to work fine. Installation only requires a key wrench of 12mm to remove the unit itself and 14mm socket wrench to pull and adjust tension. It would go in as easily as taking the old one out. One word to caution, you need to get the belt seat in the groove of both pulleys (engine and AC Compressor) or you can never put the belt on for the life of you. It only misses a hair of air gap but can never get in, and as a matter of fact you should NEVER install it in such a fashion. The belt (assuming you have the right one) has been well engineered to get in nicely. There is absolutely no need for heating the new belt up to increase its length as other suggested. The key here is "make sure it seat in correctly" and it has nothing to do with this unit. Tip, remove the front passenger wheel and the plastic cover and you should be able to see the "bottom of both pulleys" (very important). In my case, I did not so I use a flash light beaming directly on top of the engine pulley and sure enough I can see it did not aligned as it should be. Very easy to miss this. It took me 2 days and the cost of this unit to learn what I just told you. Also, last but not least, when you pull on this unit with a 14mm wrench, you need to STOP right at the moment the black plastic wheel touching the engine case. Failing to do so will break this sucker. It is made not to be pulled with excessive force . Pulling more just because you missed what I told you earlier will not do you any good. I was able to get the belt in with a normal 10" 30-years old socket wrench easily. Remember, the Alternator's pulley is the last place where the belt goes in. How long this thing last, only time can tell. But for the cost of $25 vs $264 (only this part) at the local dealership and a rocky economy full of stupid tariffs from the Taco man, it won't take you long to know what to do. Buy 2 and keep one in the trunk and with those tools I told you earlier you should be all set. If this thing ever broke on me, I will surely come back with 1 star. For now, I will give it 5 for the cost. I think the seller did well in term of the price. Want the OEM for $155, go online to Village Toyota in FL.

Had water pump and alternator fail at same time. Had to open up cooling system and figured I'd do a refresh of everything. Replaced the belt tensioner with this one and all worked out fine. Videos out there show that you have to jack up car and remove engine mount to replace this tensioner. This is not true! Remove hydraulic spring from tensioner, then remove tensioner from engine. Also, people complained about the tensioner socket breaking on installation. I could see this happening if trying to adjust in an improper direction of tensioner movement. I realized this at installation and install went as it should.

Fit my 2003 Rav4 perfectly and construction was heavy duty and well made. Should not be a problem as least as good as OEM it appears.

2005 Camry 2.4. Installed okay. Fit just like factory one. Problem is very cheaply made. Get all installed, belt on, look underneath and find a fresh pool of oil from where the seal has blown on the shock and leaked the oil out. Tensioner useless and now I have to do the job again. Not a good value if you can't even get it out of the shop before it fails.

Me funciona bien en mi Camry 2014, la calidad está por verse porque es una pieza muy económica y tengo poco tiempo que la instalé, luego podré hablar con más propiedad de la misma

The tensioner works great i haven't had any issues

Fits like it should. Very strong replacement for my vehicle

Bien

LLEGO ANTES DE LO ESPERADO Y MI CARRO QUEDO AL 100

Went on flawless, really good quality bearing nice and tight. The dummy 19mm bolt is easy to move to adjust the tension. Went on an 04 Camry, 10/10 would recommend. I’d recommend jacking the engine up to remove the 2 old bolts and set the tension then let the engine back down on the motor mount!

سيئ

تم التركيب على تويوتا افالون ٢٠٠٨، مطابق ويعمل. Installed on Toyota Avalon 2008, works fine.

Al intentar colocar el tensor de banda al motor no resistió la precion y la tuerca se barrio así que la calidad es muy mala
