Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Ensure the engine is off and cool, and disconnect the battery terminals before starting work.
  2. Locate the Belt System: Identify the compressor belt and the idler pulley on your Volvo Penta engine.
  3. Release Tension: Use the appropriate tool to release the tension from the belt tensioner, allowing you to slacken and remove the belt from the idler pulley.
  4. Remove the Old Pulley: Unbolt and remove the old idler pulley from its mounting point. Note the orientation of any washers or spacers.
  5. Install the New Pulley: Mount the new idler pulley, ensuring it is correctly aligned. Tighten the mounting bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque.
  6. Reinstall the Belt: Route the compressor belt back over all the pulleys according to the engine diagram.
  7. Apply Tension: Re-engage the tensioner to apply the correct tension to the belt.
  8. Final Check: Reconnect the battery. Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises, and visually confirm the pulley and belt are operating smoothly.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this pulley fits my D4 or D6 engine?

A: Check your engine model and, most importantly, its serial number. This pulley is specifically for D4 models up to serial number 2004017297 and D6 models up to serial number 2006032252. If your serial number is higher, this part will not fit.

What are the signs that my idler pulley is failing?

A: Common signs of a failing idler pulley include a persistent squeaking, chirping, or grinding noise from the engine compartment, visible wobble or physical damage (cracks, chips) on the pulley itself, or a loose or damaged compressor belt.

Good product, needs double hinges for versatility.
Size: 6 Panel, Color: Brown
Blocks out all the light, looks good, good color. Only con is that it is not double hinged so it is hard to position the extra panels because I bout 6 panels instead of the 4 I usually get. Good deal, very decent price with the free delivery. Very clean packaging, came in great shape, no smell or odor from the factory.

Very Pleased with Room Divider
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Brown
This room divider is even better than I expected. It's sturdy but is lightweight enough that I could get the box up a flight of stairs with no problem whatsoever. It folds and unfolds easily and is very easy to move. And there's no assembly required! It really is woven and is quite attractive. The main reason I chose this item was price (although I did like the way it looked) and I got more for my money than I thought I would.

Works well
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Coal Black
i bought this for 3 reasons. 1. Privacy when changing so I don't have to lock dog out of room. 2. In case MIL comes over and wants to snoop. She won't be able to see my bedroom. 3. A nice backdrop to use when taking photos of the clothing I make. This is perfect for me. My only "complaint" is that it is not the most sturdy thing. I have to finagle it in a way that keeps it from falling over. But for the price, it can't be beat!

Cheap and unstable
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black
Although this has nothing to do with the product, it arrived a day later than previously stated. Making me have to create a makeshift room divider the day it was actually needed. When the product arrived it arrived in a box that showed no evidence of damage. Once opened, divider was found inside a plastic cover. Great protector for dust or scratching. The divider was fully assembled so there was nothing for me to do but remove it from packaging and use it where needed. After further inspection the divider was not only cheap and flimsy looking it was absolutely unstable. It would wobble and appears to have been assembled in a rush making some panels crooked. I noted significant damage to the bottom portion of some of the panels both front and back. It does not feel like an item worth the price. The color is as advertised and the product had no smell. The sizing was accurate.
