April 22, 201015 yr Hello Everyone! The Inside Drive Belt Tensioner is Stripped causing the the belt to get loose, very loose. -Loyale93v how was it stripped? did you strip out the threads on the mounting holes? these dont just strip. plus if your belt got loose, chances are you damaged the valves or pistons on the engine.
April 23, 201015 yr Author how was it stripped? did you strip out the threads on the mounting holes? these dont just strip. plus if your belt got loose, chances are you damaged the valves or pistons on the engine. Let me be clear: the "drive belt" tensioner, not the Timing belt tensioner. I thought I was clear on that. My apologies if I wasn't. I am referring to the Accessory Drive belt that connects the A/C Compressor to the Crank Pulley. This is The Drive Belt closest to the Block. It has the A/C, The Crank Pulley & the Tensioner itself in the loop only. The 5 inch long bolt(10mm) that threads through the plastic housing that raises and lowers the tensioner pulley to tighten or loosen the accessory Drive belt Is stripped and will need replacement. I was able to loosen the pulley and then push and hold it down with a pry bar, while I tightened the bolt on the pulley. This helped a little but it won't last long. So I am trying to find one I can order over the net. Any one know where it could be found? Thanks to all who replied...and again, sorry for the mis-understanding.
April 23, 201015 yr The threaded plastic peice is like $6 from the dealer. You don't need the whole assembly - just the plastic tensioner nut. GD
April 23, 201015 yr My bad! Read tensioner and got target fixation. See post below Edited April 23, 201015 yr by Mike104
April 23, 201015 yr Item 18 by chance? 73134AC001 - Adjust bracket http://www.subaruonlineparts.com/ $4.82 + shipping Local dealer (if they aren't 100 miles away) may be better option. Looks like that part # is used across a number of models Edited April 23, 201015 yr by Mike104
April 23, 201015 yr Most of the dealers stock them since they are so commonly stripped. As noted it's probably not worth saving $2 by ordering online only to spend $5 getting it shipped. Local dealer is right around $6 for that part for me. GD
