Aux belt tensioner

keithdixon · May 4th, 2013, 13:50

I've just picked up a 2001 s40 1.8 and the belt tensioner is making one hell of a noise.

I thought it would be an easy one click order to get a new one but there appears to be some differences upon the 1.8

The engine code is B4184SJ which points to a Dayco OEM part 9497331

However, not wanting to spend £100 and am currently sat with an amazon voucher and cannot find which one I need.

Is there a difference between the B4184S and the B4184SJ tensioners?

The B4184S engine is completely different than the B4184SJ. The B4184S was made by volvo from 1996 to about 1999 and the B4184SJ is made by Mitsubishi

Try calling Rufe and he will get you the right part for sure. http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showpo...&postcount=368

See if this helps

The part in the box within the diagram is the one making the noise.

Does item 9 form the pulley with bearing which go into the part within the box?

And I assume from the diagram is an unbolt and rebolt after taking off the tension.

When mine was making hell of a noise it seized solid very shortly afterwards, throwing the aux belt off. I put a used one on, but I wouldn't recommend that route really.

From looking on the web the volvo part 30873488 seems to refer to dayco part no APV2198 Could someone confirm?
