Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Timing Chain Tensioner for the Td5 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo diesel, part of the timing chain drive assembly at the front of the engine.

The tensioner acts against the chain guide to keep the timing chain under controlled tension, taking up slack as the chain wears so that valve timing stays accurate and the chain does not slap against its guides. A failed or weak tensioner allows chain rattle and timing errors and accelerates wear on the chain, guides and sprockets.

Frequently asked questions

What does the LGQ000020 timing chain tensioner do on a TD5 engine?
The LGQ000020 timing chain tensioner keeps the timing chain under controlled tension on the TD5 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo diesel, fitted at the front of the engine. It takes up slack as the chain wears, working against the chain guide so valve timing stays accurate.
What are the symptoms of a failing TD5 timing chain tensioner?
A weak or failed timing chain tensioner typically causes chain rattle and timing errors, most noticeable from the front of the engine. Left unchanged, it accelerates wear on the chain, guides and sprockets on the TD5 and can lead to timing drift.
Should the tensioner be replaced along with the chain and guide?
The timing chain tensioner is typically replaced as a set with the timing chain and guide during a TD5 chain job, since they wear together. Fitting a new tensioner to a worn chain usually shortens its service life. This part fits the Defender and Discovery 2 TD5.
