This tensioner had 170k miles on it and the pulley was worn down. The new unit will keep the belt nice and happy.

About ready to change my pulleys at 160k on my 2011. Are all the pulley bolts able to use the m10 triple hex bit? I need to replace my upper tensioner, starting to wobble and rattle at idle and slowly getting worse.

@marcomendez5487 3 жыл бұрын
I noticed that you have the ESC crankshaft pulley. How long have you had it and does it need any other adjust besides installing? Any issues? Thinking of getting one. Nice videos !
@VoyageRC 3 жыл бұрын
I have had the pulley on for about 20k miles. I have had no issues with it. I did throw a belt which prompted this tensioner replacement. Im not blaming the pulley. No adjustments other than installing it. It does not provide any dampening. I would look into the TTRS pulley if your thinking of tuning the car for higher RPM.
@matt12239 Жыл бұрын
Do you have a video of the install for the lightweight pulley?
@VoyageRC Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately no. I did a few mods to the car before I started filming stuff. The pulley is pretty simple though.

Hey I know this is an older video and you might not see this but I was looking into the ECS pulley because I purchased one not too long ago for my 2013 VW Passat 2.5l and after about a day and a half of use the belt they sent with it shredded. I got it towed to a shop and the mechanic there said it wasn't aligned with the ac pulley. Did you have any alignment issues after install or was everything good?
@VoyageRC Жыл бұрын
I have had zero issues with mine. I shredded 1 belt that had about 20k miles on it. I have heard people complaining about these pulleys shredding belts though.
@Suede224 Жыл бұрын
I have a 2011 and just the wheel broke off the tensioner, do you think it would be ok just to change the wheel instead of the whole tensioner?
@VoyageRC Жыл бұрын
You can just change the pulley. However, depending on how many miles are on it, it may be worth just changing the whole tensioner.

Great video, bought a 2012 VW Passat 2.5 with a 145k miles, now 154k miles changed the belt snapped bought a second snapped lol just ordered the entire pulley tensioner kit so thanks for this video quick question where did you get those pulleys from on your Jetta??

I liked the video but why is it that no one, and I mean NO ONE is making videos about how to replace the upper tensioner? The most common problem with these 2.5 L VW's are the uper and lower pulleys and the UPPER tensioner between them. Not the one at the bottom. I cannot find anyone with a video about how to remove that tensioner. 🤦🏿♂️
