| Post subject: | cambelt tensioner/Pulley |
when my timming belt was changed the guy who did it informed me that in about 10,000 miles my cambelt pulley will need changing and informed me that a tingling noise id been hearing was due to this. iv searched the forums and found that no ones had their pulley replaced but most people have had their timming belt tensioner done, am i right? and if so what is this tingling a Symptom of? the pulley or tensioner? iv included a pic to show the two seperate bits it could be, what do you guys think? the blue cirlce is the pulley and the red's the tensioner. anyone have any experience of having these changed? what effect did it have?

I was told buy a mechanic that the slight tapping noise i get from the engine could be a tensioner, thing is though its only when cold, its super smooth once the oil pressure is up, i've got the 108k cambelt change next week, maybe with a new tensioner, so i hope it will disappear with that, otherwise i guess its the cams

I think that's called 'slip'-something. I had to change it as well!! in fact i'm waiting for the part to arrive since it's not in stock...Same words as my mechanic - it has to be changed and if not i would hear that whistling noise...And it's gonna cost me around $90!!! |

Correction: That part is called "IDLER" - it's like an 'adjustable' tensioner |

'Idler', yes that was part of the kit i spoke to mazda about, they quoted £605 for the belt and complete set of idlers and rollers 
Not to mention labour! They said its very unlikely the whole kit would be needed though, won't be getting them to do it anyways

Yep I've just spent something like that for the whole kit.. The thing is that I have 10 days without a car  Waiting for the idler to arrive. In the meantime, this is how the engine looks like
