Frequently asked questions

What does the ETC8560R idler pulley do?

The ETC8560R idler pulley guides the toothed timing belt on the 300TDi engine, providing a bearing surface that keeps the belt aligned next to the tensioner. It's fitted to the Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic 300TDi as part of the timing belt drive.

When should the idler pulley be replaced?

Inspect and renew the idler pulley whenever the timing belt is serviced. A worn idler bearing typically turns noisy or rough and can let the belt wander, so it's usually changed along with the belt and tensioner rather than alone.

How do I confirm the ETC8560R fits my 300TDi?

The ETC8560R fits the 300TDi up to VIN VA117353 (Defender) and VA560897 (Discovery 1). Later engines, or a 300TDi converted to the revised timing belt setup, need the successor idler LHV100150 instead, so confirm your VIN before ordering.
