Belt Tensioner
Posted October 11, 2010

How common is it for a timing belt tensioner to go bad?
I have a 97 Toyota Tercel with 127,000 miles and have never got a timing belt.I was considering getting a new one soon and heard that the tensioner can fail when pressure is released,How common of an occurrence is this and is it safe to reuse it through the life of another belt if it is in good condition?
One more thing,I have a non-interference engine so I could just go till it snaps right?
You could reuse your tensioner, if its in good shape, but if your going to keep your car for a long period of time it would make sense to replace it along with the timing belt.
You could just drive your car until the belt snaps, but what if it snaps in the middle of the night on a country road, or in the fast lane on the freeway? It would cost you a wrecker bill and probably more to get your car repaired in this circumstance, or possibly get you killed.
All cars need to be maintained, do it now and you wont have to worry about it.
