Ticking Motor (Timing Belt Tensioner, pulley bearings, etc. NON HLA)

another tick, often confused with the common HLA tick, is the hydraulic timing belt tensioner arm. The tensioner wears to the point of no longer being able to provide enough steady pressure on the timing belt, and the ticking heard is the slack in the belt, combined with the arm of the tensioner beign forced in and out of it's assembly

Fix: replacement is the only known fix for this problem. Used units are not reccomended because of their short life (as low as 20,000 miles in some vehicles, to 80,000+ in others)
Prices range from 100-250.00 depending on source.

*note to author - i've pruned the thread of irrelevant info. Please feel free to "report post" if the irrelevant posts build up again.

good info!
