The tensioner helps maintain the correct tension on the timing belt.
What can go wrong
Too little tension can allow unwanted belt movement. A worn or failing tensioner can therefore create problems even if the belt itself appears intact.
Why it's usually included in a kit
This is one reason complete timing-belt kits commonly include a replacement tensioner. Call DB Autos on 01782 844320.
