What is the Idler Pulley all about?

An idler pulley is responsible for guiding and maintaining tension with the drive belt. The drive belt (also called the serpentine belt) connects the engine to various components of the vehicle (such as the air conditioning, power steering, and alternator). Power is transferred from the engine to these systems via the drive belt. The belt is held in place by the idler pulley, which keeps the tension on the drive belt and guides it.

Keep in mind:

When an idler pulley is replaced, it’s a good idea to replace the drive belt as well.

How it's done:

  • Inspect engine for noises
  • Inspect the drive belts
  • Spin the pulley
  • Replace the pulleys if found bad
  • Check for proper operations of the belt

Our recommendation:

Any time that drive belt maintenance is performed on your vehicle, the idler pulley should be examined. Idler pulleys usually wear out with time, so it is a safe precautionary procedure to have your idler pulley replaced during any drive belt servicing.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Idler Pulley?

  • Noises from the engine
  • Warning lights are on
  • Loss of power steering
  • Car is overheating

How important is this service?

The idler pulley is responsible for keeping your drive belt aligned, and for maintaining the tension in the drive belt. The drive belt is used to transfer power from the engine to the alternator, power steering, and air conditioning, among other systems. If the driver pulley starts to degrade, the drive belt will be less efficient, and your vehicle will be liable to overheat or run poorly. If the idler pulley fully breaks, the drive belt will no longer work at all, and your car won’t run.

Porsche Boxster H6-2.7L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Dallas, Texas
Alex is an amazing mechanic and a gentleman. He pays attention to customers concerns and is highly competent and knowledgeable as a mechanic. Besides that he is just a really respectful, polite person and will not rush or ignore you as a customer. I believe he goes beyond and does more than other mechanics do and the fact he is qualified to examine and service luxury and high performance cars makes a difference too. When he did a pre-vehicle inspection for me on a Porsche the appointment went smooth and it was hard to tell it was the first time we ever met, that is how a experience should be in this industry but frequently is not. Alex does not sugar coat mechanical issues either. He is honest, upfront, and states the facts whether you as a customer may or may not like the facts, and truly the automotive industry needs that. I think it is cool that he can meet you at your house or even place of business to service your car and do any repairs needed versus having to go to a mechanic shop and sit and wait. I would highly recommend Alex to anybody and everybody, he deserves your business and customers deserve his mechanical excellence in skill and honesty this gentleman displays.
