Idler Tensioner Pulley for the auxiliary (serpentine) drive belt system. Mounted on the automatic belt tensioner arm, the pulley bears against the belt to hold correct running tension across the crankshaft, alternator and ancillary pulleys.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Idler Tensioner Pulley used for?
The Idler Tensioner Pulley guides and tensions the auxiliary drive belt on the Land Rover Defender 2007-2016 Puma models. It's a genuine Land Rover pulley used on the 2.4 and 2.2 TDCi engines fitted with air conditioning, keeping the belt aligned across the ancillaries.
Which Defender engines does this idler pulley fit?
This idler pulley fits the Puma Defender 2007-2016 with air conditioning: the 2.4 TDCi 140PS up to VIN BA999999, and the 2.2 TDCi 122PS from VIN CA000001. Vehicles without A/C use a different belt layout, so confirm your engine and VIN.
How do I know the idler pulley is failing?
A failing idler pulley usually makes a whine or rumble from the front of the engine, most audible at idle. The bearing can develop play or seize, risking belt damage. Many owners replace the idler alongside the auxiliary belt on these Puma Defenders.
