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.

Vehicle Model Land Rover Defender up to 2016

Frequently asked questions

What is the ERC8861 timing belt tensioner for?

It tensions the camshaft timing belt on the 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine. The pulley presses against the belt to hold it taut, keeping valve and injection-pump timing accurate and preventing the belt from skipping teeth.

Do I need to fit a new tensioner when changing the timing belt?

Replace the tensioner at the same time as the timing belt every time. Its bearing wears with use, so reusing an old tensioner with a new belt risks premature failure and another strip-down.

Which vehicles take this tensioner?

Fits the Defender (1987-2006) running the 2.5L 4-cylinder NA diesel or 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo diesel. Check which 2.5 diesel you have before ordering, as timing components differ between engine versions.

What warns that the tensioner is wearing out?

Listen for a growl or whine from the front of the engine and check the pulley for roughness or play. On the 2.5 diesel a seizing tensioner can throw or break the belt, so replace it as soon as bearing noise appears.
