About Timing Cam Belt Tensioners
The cam belt system is made up of the cam belt, timing cam belt tensioner, and cam belt pulleys. The cam belt is a long piece of rubber which coils through a series of pulleys which contain bearings, usually operating with a spring mechanism. The pulleys function to enable the cam belt to smoothly spin around, allowing the cam belt to propel or drive various components in the engine compartment, such as the alternator, air pump and power steering pump. The Peugeot timing cam belt tensioner works to ensure the cam belt is kept securely in position when the car is in motion, while also functioning to apply the right amount of steady pressure to the cam belt. It's vital that the correct tension is applied continuously to the cam belt while it's working. Incorrect pressure on the cam belt can cause extra stress to the components it's functioning, which can cause these parts to underperform and deteriorate.
Situated in the engine compartment, the timing cam belt tensioner assembly is a metal structure housed in a casing, mounted on a bracket and primarily consists of a coil spring, which allows for the precise amount of pressure to be applied to the cam belt to keep it in place, and a pulley. The pulley mechanism allows the cam belt to run along the inside of the tensioner, which enables it to apply tension to the belt as it spins around its path of pulleys and generates the mechanism and power needed to drive the components it serves. While primarily functioning to apply a steady pressure to the cam belt, the Peugeot timing cam belt tensioner also helps to prolong the life of the parts driven by the cam belt, such as the air conditioning compressor and water pump, by taking some of the strain away from these parts which allows them to provide optimum performance as well as a longer working life.
If the Peugeot timing cam belt tensioner is not applying enough pressure to the cam belt then the belt can become loose and deviate from its position. A sure sign of a loose cam belt is a nasty screeching noise. A slipped cam belt will lead to extremes of temperature as the belt struggles, eventually leading to a damaged cam belt. A slipped cam belt can also affect the proper performance of the components powered by the cam belt. Often the cause of a slipped cam belt is that the spring inside the tensioner has become worn and is unable to apply the right amount of tension to the cam belt. If too much pressure is applied to the cam belt by the timing cam belt tensioner this can add undue stress to the parts driven by the cam belt which ultimately leads to premature wear and tear of these parts. To avoid having to replace expensive parts such as the alternator, ensure the timing cam belt tensioner is fitted correctly, functioning properly and changed regularly to ensure perfect performance. General rule of thumb is to replace the timing cam belt tensioner when you replace the cam belt. It is advisable to change the entire cam belt system at the same time which can help to ensure the system lasts longer and works at its best. The tensioner can suffer from damage and should be replaced if worn by rust; cracked; chipped; or dented. The <model timing cam belt tensioner is the ideal replacement part when the tensioner has failed. Specifically designed and manufactured for the make and model of your vehicle, this part will be completely compatible.
Peugeot trivia
- It's hard to believe, but the Peugeot company was founded in 1810! Of course, it didn't make cars then. Instead, it built pepper mills, salt mills and, eventually bicycles. It wasn't until 1889 that the first Peugeot car was made (they only made four of them, and they were powered by steam).
- Lots of car manufacturers tried building electric vehicles at some point, but Peugeot had more success than others in the 1940s! Fuel restrictions promoted the design, and the car came with four 12-volt batteries that meant a range of 80km on a single charge and a top speed of 32km/h.
- Peugeots have been seen on the big and small screen. Most notable, the Peugeot 403 convertible was the car of everyone's famous scruffy detective Colombo. There was also an episode of Absolutely Fabulous where Edina and Patsy drive through France in a 205.
- In 1913, one of Peugeot's motorsports team, Jules Goux, not only won the Indianapolis 500 but also broke the World Speed Record. He was the first European to win the Indy 500, and the 7.6-litre car was dubbed the fastest vehicle of the time.
- It was also in 1913 (some might say because of the Indy 500 win) that Peugeot were responsible for the production of half of all of the cars in France. That quickly made them one of the world's biggest names in the automotive industry.
