Jaguar Drive Belt Idler Pulley - Genuine Jaguar C2C22758

Product Information

The drive belt idler pulley works in conjunction with the tensioner pulley/tensioner assembly to maintain tension on the belt as well as guide the belt. Idler pulleys are also used to achieve ideal belt routing around the engine drive accessories such as the power steering pump, water pump, A/C compressor, and alternator.

The idler pulley is an often overlooked maintenance item but it is just as important as the belt tensioner itself. In most cases it is recommended to replace the idler pulley at the same time as the belt tensioner.

• Visible wear or grooves on pulley
• Belt squealing
• Chirping or grinding sounds coming from pulley bearing
• Odd or uneven belt wear
• Misalignment of pulley when compared to mounting surface

About Genuine Jaguar

The original parts used by Jaguar to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Jaguar” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Jaguar, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Jaguar Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Jaguar are not necessarily manufactured by Jaguar. No cause for concern, as Jaguar designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Jaguar for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Jaguar parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Jaguar logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
