The MINI Cooper Belt Tensioner keeps the proper tension on your belt to make sure that your crank pulley, air conditioning, alternator, and supercharger are all functioning properly. If you do not have the proper tension, your belt could slip or wear unevenly. Over time, the tensioner can wear out and it is very common on the Gen 1 MCS models for the small shock to lose its oil over time or for the bushings on the shock to come out. If any of this happens, the belt tensioner loses its grip on the belt, which can result in belt slippage. This belt tensioner is almost the same as the MINI part number in every way except the black hard coat on the pulley is not there and they mill off the MINI part number. Other than that, all the other casting marks are the same. An excellent pulley that we have been using here in the shop for a long time that has been proven to last as long as the original and save the customer money at the same time!

MINI Cooper S Idler Pulley by INA is just like the original but at a lower cost. This is a great replacement pulley when you need it. The only difference we can see is they didn't coat the pulley with a black hard coat, like the OEM one. It's an excellent pulley that we have been using here in the shop for a long time. It's proven to last as long as the original and save the customer money at the same time!  This pulley comes with necessary hardware. This pulley is located on the belt tensioner and is responsible for maintaining tension on the serpentine belt and works. This pulley works together with the belt tensioner to maintain tension and guide the belt. Don’t neglect this often overlooked item that is incredibly important and easy to fix!
