Engine Parts Installation Warning
Auxiliary drive components such as belt tensioners are critical to charging, cooling and comfort systems. Incorrect fitment, misrouted belts, damaged pulleys or over-tightened fasteners can lead to belt failure, charging faults or overheating.
For this reason, engine-driven accessories should only be fitted by a suitably qualified and properly equipped workshop that can confirm correct belt routing, alignment and tension after installation.
