Installation Notes
Note: KAD series engines typically use two of these pulleys—one on the compressor and one on the water pump. This version is adjustable with spanners/wrenches.
- Turn off the engine and allow it to cool completely before starting work.
- Remove the engine cover to access the belt system.
- Release belt tension by adjusting the tensioner mechanism with a suitable wrench.
- Carefully slide the serpentine belt off the old pulley.
- Remove the central mounting bolt securing the old tensioner pulley.
- Note the orientation of the original pulley before removing it.
- Position the new tensioner pulley in the same orientation.
- Secure the new pulley using the mounting bolt, tightening to manufacturer torque specifications.
- Return the tensioner to its neutral position to re-apply tension.
- Reinstall the belt, ensuring it is properly seated on all pulleys.
- Verify belt alignment and tensioner movement before finishing.
- Replace the engine cover and test the engine.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How many pulleys does my KAD engine need?
Volvo Penta KAD/KAMD series engines typically require two of these adjustable pulleys per engine. One is fitted to the compressor and the other to the water pump.
What are the signs of a failing tension pulley?
Common signs include a squealing or grinding noise from the engine bay, visible wobble in the pulley, uneven belt wear, or a loss of proper belt tension, which can affect the performance of the supercharger and water pump.
Can I replace just the bearing instead of the whole pulley?
This part is sold as a complete assembly. While some mechanics may press out and replace bearings, it is generally safer and more reliable to replace the entire pulley unit to ensure proper alignment and tension.
Is a special tool required for installation?
No special tools are required. This pulley is designed for adjustment and installation using standard spanners or wrenches to release tension and tighten the mounting bolt.
How often should this tensioner pulley be replaced?
There is no fixed replacement interval. It should be inspected during routine service for noise, free spin, and wobble. Replace it if you notice any signs of wear or bearing failure.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials and manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, with batch inspections for consistency.
