What does a idler pulley do?
- Reduces wear and tear on the engine belt by providing a smooth surface for it to run against.
- Helps maintain proper tension on the engine belt to ensure efficient operation of the engine components.
- Prevents slippage of the engine belt, which can lead to decreased performance and potential damage.
- Aids in the overall stability and alignment of the engine belt system.
- Assists in the smooth operation of engine components such as the alternator, water pump, and power steering pump.
What happens when an idler pulley goes bad?
- Increased noise from the engine belt system.
- Engine belt slippage leading to decreased performance.
- Excessive wear on the engine belt.
- Potential damage to other engine components.
- Engine overheating due to malfunctioning of the cooling system.
Does idler pulley need to be replaced?
- If there is visible damage or wear on the idler pulley.
- If the idler pulley is making unusual noise during operation.
- If the engine belt is slipping or not maintaining proper tension.
- During regular maintenance intervals recommended by the manufacturer.
- When other engine components are being replaced to ensure optimal performance.
Advantages of idler pulley:
- Improves engine belt longevity.
