2.3 Mk1 Tensioner

[Wimb]

Has anyone got a ford part number for the MK1 2.3 Aux belt tensioner handy plz

[sparky Paul]

Part number for the tensioner is 1148358.

 

HTH ^_^

I've recently had mine changed. What a difference it made. No more squeek! ^_^

Fortunately, mine was a rather cheaper fix - a new belt seems to have cured my squealy woes. ^_^

I had considered just changing the belt but after 125,000 miles I guessed the tensioner must have been near the end of its useful life, so got both done as it was in the garrage.

unfortunatley i can see where its slipping off the tensioner pulley and rubbing against the crankshaft

[Wimb]

Am I right thinking that there is only 1 bolt that holds this on and it is positioned above the pulley ?

I'm not 100% certain, but if IIRC the complete tensioner assembly is attached to the block with three bolts... I understand you remove the tensioner arm from the assembly to access them.

 

Perhaps someone who has changed one could clarify.

Does not show about tensioner bolts, but I am lead to believe the 2.3 in the scorpio is the same as the Gal, so thought this might be of some use.

The Scorpio uses a similar tensioner, but in a different position, and the auxiliary components and belt arrangement are completely different to the Galaxy.

 

Whilst the Scorpio has the PS pump and alternator on the left side of the engine, the Galaxy has everything on the right of the crank pulley, or front of the engine, being tranversely mounted.
