Timing Belt Tensioner - the tensioner that sets and maintains correct tension on the camshaft timing belt of the 2.5 litre 4-cylinder diesel engine.

The tensioner pulley bears against the timing belt to keep it taut, holding accurate valve and injection-pump timing and stopping the belt from jumping teeth. It is normally renewed as a matter of course whenever the timing belt is replaced.

Frequently asked questions

What does the ERC8861 timing belt tensioner do?
The ERC8861 timing belt tensioner keeps correct tension on the camshaft timing belt of the 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine. The pulley bears on the belt so it stays taut, holding valve and injection-pump timing accurate and stopping the belt jumping teeth.
Should the tensioner be replaced with the timing belt?
Yes, replace the tensioner whenever you renew the timing belt. It carries a bearing that wears, and fitting a fresh belt over an old tensioner risks early failure and repeating the whole job.
Which Land Rovers does it fit?
Fits the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006) with the 2.5L 4-cylinder NA diesel or 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine. Confirm your exact engine type before ordering, as 2.5 diesel timing parts vary.
What are the signs the tensioner is failing?
Common signs are a rumble or whine from the timing belt area, visible play in the pulley, or belt misalignment. On this engine a seized tensioner can let the belt jump or snap, so don't ignore bearing noise.
