  Belt Tensioner, Pulley Assembly Tension, bt153

• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford accessory drive belt idler pulley for the 2015-2019 Ford Transit equipped with the 3.2L Duratorq-TDCi Puma five-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. Cataloged by Ford as an Idler Pulley (Pulley Assembly - Tension), it rides on the serpentine accessory drive belt to route and guide the belt around the front-of-engine pulley system, maintaining proper belt wrap and alignment across the crankshaft, water pump, alternator, and other driven accessories. The pulley spins on a sealed bearing, and when that bearing wears the buyer typically hears a bearing whine, chirp, growl, or squeal from the front of the engine that changes with engine speed, sometimes accompanied by belt fluttering, a wobbling pulley, or belt dust and glazing. A seized or rough idler bearing can throw or shred the belt and leave the van without water pump and alternator drive, so a noisy pulley should be replaced promptly. This service part applies to Puma diesel Transits built from 10/29/2016 and supersedes earlier part numbers BK3Z-6A228-A and BK3Z-6A228-B, so it reflects Ford's latest revision for the application; confirm the build date of your van when ordering. Spin the new pulley by hand to confirm smooth, quiet rotation before installing, inspect the serpentine belt for cracking or glazing and replace it if worn, and route the belt exactly per the underhood belt diagram. Torque the pulley bolt to Ford specification. This is a direct-fit OEM replacement manufactured to the original Ford specification for the Transit 3.2L diesel.
