All systems go! Your car's engine isn't made up of only pistons and valves. It's also home to a number of important systems: cooling, ignition and power steering. What makes all these systems function is the accessory belt. That is why the accessory belt tensioner is so important. If there's too much slack in the belt, your car's engine could end up overheating, your steering could lose power assistance and your battery could lose its charge. All these systems are connected to the belt via pulleys. The tensioner itself is a pulley that can be adjusted to tighten the belt's hold over all the other pulleys. Don't take this too lightly - a loose belt can easily get caught by the crankshaft pulley and be torn apart, rendering all the other systems down and out. If adjusting the accessory belt tensioner doesn't tighten the belt enough, then it may be time to replace it. Auto Parts Deal should have the right tensioner for your car's engine type.
