2001 EZ30 serpentine belt tensioner

Featured Replies

Heard you missed me - well, I'm back!

No news has been good news - cars pretty much behaved through the winter, so I had little reason to hang out and was deeply immersed in other work.

That changed today:  In the city for some shopping, sporadic noises I'd been hearing became real, and the '01 H6 tossed its belt.  When I raised the hood, I could see that the idler had departed its bearing, which seemed weird.  Upon closer examination, what went was the tensioner bearing, and in the process it trashed the arm. I hoped that the spare engine I picked up a couple of summers ago would be a donor, but no such luck - I have the engine and manifold but none of the ps pump/alternator/ac compressor brackets and mounts - they must have already been missing from the junkyard donor.

So tonight's question is:  Are there any other engines that use the same tensioner?

Thanks much.

Jonathan
