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.

Colorful, Sturdy & Great Value
Color: Large Set of 4
Purchased for our two puppies when they were 2 months old and weighed about 14 pounds so theses balls were a little big for them to hold in their mouths but that didn't stop them from trying. While they did like these balls they much preferred softer soccer balls, the later of which did not hold up well at all. I had hoped they would play with these balls more when they were older but that hasn't happened 5 months later. I guess it's no fun if you can't tear the toy apart. Colors are very bright and they do enjoy chasing after them as long as I am the one rolling them across the room for them. Maybe when they progress to batting things with their paws they will start to do this for themselves.

3.5, Not 3.0
Color: Medium Set of 6
These balls were almost exactly what I needed. I was replacing my boy’s favorite ball, which is the 3” squeaky, spikey ball that fits in the chuck it launcher. Unfortunately I saw the shiny object next to it and because there were SIX balls and a dollar less, I failed to see that these are 3.5” balls instead of 3”…. Great balls but no fitty in the slingy. Buyer beware. No chuck it no problem. Save a buck.

MY CHIHUAHUA LOVES THESE BALLS!!
Color: Samll Set of 8
My little chihuahua, BamBam, is addicted to balls, especially little balls that squeak! However, any balls that have material on them, BamBam will tear them apart, swallow the material and then get an upset tummy! These balls saved the day! BamBam LOVES them & she cannot tear them apart! They hold up so well! No matter how much BamBam plays with them, they keep squeaking away!
