RJ-2175-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:58

For 5 speed manual transmission vehicles with turbo chargers, the timing belt tensioner bracket does not have sufficient hardness, and therefore, the vibration of the timing belt may increase. As a result of it, the teeth of the crank sprocket may fail to engage the belt evenly, and the belt may be damaged. If this problem is left unattended, the engine might stall and fail to restart.
