Timing Belt Tensioner maintains correct tension on the timing belt of the 300 TDi 2.5L turbo diesel.

The sprung tensioner pulley bears against the belt that drives the camshaft and injection pump from the crankshaft, holding the tension needed to keep valve and injection timing accurate and to stop the belt jumping a tooth. It is a standard renewal item at every timing belt change.

Frequently asked questions

What does the timing belt tensioner do on a 300Tdi?

The timing belt tensioner keeps correct tension on the 300Tdi timing belt, which drives the camshaft and injection pump from the crankshaft. The sprung pulley stops the belt jumping a tooth, keeping valve and injection timing accurate. It typically sits in the timing case at the front of the engine.

Should the tensioner be replaced with the timing belt?

Yes, the timing belt tensioner is a standard renewal item at every timing belt change on the 300Tdi. Its pulley bearing wears over time, so fitting a new tensioner with the belt avoids a later bearing failure that could throw the belt and damage valves. Belt and tensioner are normally replaced together.

Which Land Rovers does this 300Tdi tensioner fit?

This tensioner fits the Land Rover Defender and Discovery 1 with the 2.5L 300Tdi engine. On Discovery 1 it covers VIN FA393361 to WA799999. Use your VIN to confirm the 300Tdi build, as the earlier 200Tdi uses a different tensioner.

Is ERR1972 the same as this tensioner?

Yes, ERR1972 is a cross-reference for this 300Tdi timing belt tensioner, also listed as LHP10086. This is an aftermarket part. All these codes refer to the same tensioner pulley, so any of them brings up the correct component for the 300Tdi engine.
