Aftermarket Part
Aftermarket: Quality alternative. This is a quality alternative, designed to fit and function like the original part, often at a more competitive price.
Idler Pulley for the ancillary (auxiliary) drive belt system on the 2.5L KV6 V6 petrol engine.

The idler runs on a sealed bearing and presents a plain running face that routes the polyvee auxiliary belt around the front of the engine, holding the correct belt wrap and alignment across the ancillary drives. It transmits no drive of its own, so a dry or collapsing bearing announces itself as belt rumble, whine or squeal from the front of the engine rather than as a loss of charging or steering assistance.

Supplied as a single pulley. It is normal practice to fit a new auxiliary belt whenever the idler is renewed, and to check the remaining pulley bearings while the belt is off.

Frequently asked questions

What does the PQR500160LZ idler pulley do?
The PQR500160LZ idler pulley guides and tensions the auxiliary drive belt on the Freelander 1 2.5 KV6 petrol engine. It provides a smooth running surface that routes the belt around the ancillaries, helping maintain correct belt wrap and tension across the pulleys.
Where does this idler pulley sit on the KV6?
The idler pulley sits in the auxiliary belt run on the front of the Freelander 1 2.5 KV6 engine, among the drive pulleys for the ancillaries. On automatic cars with power steering it forms part of the belt routing for those driven components.
What are the signs the idler pulley is worn?
Signs include a bearing rumble, squeal, or grinding from the auxiliary belt area, and belt wear or misalignment on the KV6. Idler pulley bearings typically dry out and fail with age. A seized pulley can throw or shred the belt, so a noisy one is worth replacing.
