OE parts at a fraction of the cost of the Volvo Genuine
Loved it, perfect fit, I was very happy when I pulled the old one out of the car and it was also stamped INA and Volvo. Why would you pay for the Volvo logo when you can get the "EXACT" same part at a fraction? The how-to videos helped a lot! Great pricing, ultra fast shipping. So far a pleasure dealing with FCP.

Great price, fixed my problem
Ordered this to replace my factory tensioner that had 209k on it. It started making death noises from the idler bearing, so it was time.
I think it's missing a few bells inside, it sounds like a child rattle lol. Install is a bit tedious but overall a perfect fit. Definitely worth the $$$ and time for possibly 200k more miles. Thanks fcp

Perfect fit and exact same as original volvo part
Compared original noisy worn volvo part to this and they were basically identical minus the volvo label. old one showed INA mark in same spot as this new one. After replacement the noisy whining tensioner is fixed and engine is nice and quite. Good time to replace the serp belt since you have to take it off anyway.

As good or better than OEM.
My original tensioner was howling due to a bad pulley bearing.
Now the engine compartment is a little quieter.
Nice quality part. As good or better than stock from the way it looks.

Perfect fit, and the noise on the engine bay when down significantly, I guess the Drive Belt Tensioner whore about to go out, very happy with the purchase

My mechanic was very happy so see all the timing belt service parts fit with no problems. No timing belt service should be done with out this as well. Give you peace of mind. Thanks FCP

works great no more noise
The old tensioner was starting to make a noise and the new one fixed that when doing the belt.

The only reason I'm taking off a star is because this unit had a Torx bolt securing the pulley whereas the bolt on the old unit was a standard 14mm. I ended up transferring the 14mm bolt onto the new tensioner. I haven't been able to find any Torx tools that would fit in that tight space to even access it, and being able to grab it with a second serpentine wrench with a crow's foot makes belt installation/removal a lot simpler.
If you have the alternator out, definitely do this tensioner as well! It's certainly possible to do it by itself (you have to remove the pulley to do so), but it's downright simple with the alternator and steering pump out.

Hard to say anything other than I guess it works. Our mechanic recommended replacing this inexpensive part while replacing the alternator and power steering pump, as the tensioner bearing can also wear and become squeaky. If you're replacing belt-driven components, drop a new tensioner in while your at it... it's a small price to pay for a few extra minutes of labor and good piece of mind.
