Thumbs up 2nd Gen - Tensioner & Idler Pulleys...

My tensioner is going south on the LS and needs to be replaced. I figure while I'm in there I may as well do the idler pulley(s) too depending on count and price.

That being said, can anyone give me the part numbers of the pulleys in question or an exploded diagram of the area so I can track them down?

Also, I know the local dealer is going to be absurd in price... I looked around but didn't see any PV's on this site or anything of the sort. So if someone can recommend me to a parts counter (or online one), that'd be excellent.

Thanks!

Hitman, what symptoms do you have with the tensioner, meaning how do you know its going south?

As for a parts counter, you really can’t beat www.lexus-parts.com

Darrel's prices are HALF, read that HALF of my local dealer, without any exaggeration. I’ve a number of transactions with him, very professional, and customer friendly.

Call him up, or use code CL911M on his site for an additional discount.

Thumbs up

Belt squeal at cold startup... belt has ~8000 miles on it. Only thing I can think of that will cause it unless water somehow was on the belt. I really don't know of anything else that would cause it to slip as it's a single belt with a single tensioner.

Excellent info on that link, much appreciated! I need plug wires, caps, rotors, and some other misc bits.
