FAQs
How do I know if my aux belt tensioner needs replacing?
Common signs include a chirping or squealing noise from the belt area, especially on startup or acceleration, visible damage or excessive wear on the belt, or a lack of performance from accessories like the alternator or power steering pump. A mechanic can also diagnose a worn tensioner by checking for excessive pulley wobble or weak spring tension.
Can I reuse my old aux belt when installing a new tensioner?
It is strongly recommended to replace the auxiliary belt whenever the tensioner is replaced. Belts wear over time and can become brittle or develop internal damage. Installing a new tensioner with an old belt may lead to premature failure of either component.
What is the difference between a manual and an automatic tensioner?
An automatic tensioner, like this Quinton Hazell QTA1335, uses a spring or hydraulic mechanism to maintain consistent belt tension as the belt and engine components wear or shift. A manual tensioner requires periodic adjustment by a mechanic to maintain the correct tension.
What is the function of an aux belt tensioner?
The aux belt tensioner's primary function is to apply and maintain the correct tension on the auxiliary (serpentine) belt. This ensures that the belt grips the pulleys of the accessories it drives (like the alternator, water pump, A/C compressor) effectively, preventing slippage and ensuring they operate correctly.
Does this tensioner fit my [specific vehicle model]?
The Quinton Hazell QTA1335 is designed for specific Ford Mondeo III (B5Y) 2.0 Diesel models (10/2000-03/2007) and Ford Transit TDCi 2.0D (00-06), as well as compatible Jaguar models. Please verify your vehicle's exact specifications and compare with the listed OEM part numbers (e.g., FORD 1125419, JAGUAR C2S27002) to confirm fitment.
What are the dimensions of this tensioner pulley?
The tensioner has a width of 26 mm and an outer diameter of 65 mm.
Troubleshooting
Belt squealing or noise
This could indicate insufficient tension. Verify the tensioner is correctly installed and applying adequate pressure. Also, check the condition of the auxiliary belt; a worn belt can cause noise even with a good tensioner.
Accessory not functioning (e.g., no alternator charge, no power steering)
Check if the auxiliary belt is present and properly tensioned. A loose or broken belt, potentially caused by a failed tensioner, will prevent accessories from operating.
Tensioner pulley wobbles excessively
The bearing within the tensioner pulley may be failing. Replace the tensioner unit.
Difficulty installing the tensioner
Ensure you are using the correct part number (QTA1335) for your vehicle model and engine. Double-check compatibility and ensure mounting surfaces are clean and free of damage.

Setup & Installation:
Installation of an auxiliary belt tensioner is a critical task that should be performed by a qualified mechanic. It involves:
- Safely securing the vehicle and accessing the accessory drive system.
- Releasing tension on the existing belt using the old tensioner (or a suitable tool).
- Removing the old tensioner and inspecting the mounting points.
- Installing the new Quinton Hazell QTA1335 tensioner securely.
- Installing a new auxiliary belt (recommended).
- Applying correct tension using the new tensioner's mechanism.
- Verifying belt alignment and checking for any obstructions.
- Running the engine briefly to confirm smooth operation and proper belt tracking.
Care:
This is a maintenance-free component. However, regular inspection of the accessory drive system, including the belt and tensioner, is advised during routine vehicle servicing. Look for signs of wear, leakage from the tensioner pulley, or unusual noises.
- Inspection: Check for excessive wobble or noise from the tensioner pulley while the engine is running.
- Belt Condition: Ensure the auxiliary belt is free from cracks, fraying, or glazing. Replace the belt if it shows signs of wear, as a new tensioner requires a good belt to function optimally.
