2003 Acura CL Belts and Hoses

Mackay utilizes leading edge rubber technology and compounds, supported by in-house processes from rubber mixing to final product. This ensures hoses are made to the strict specifications required for the advanced motor vehicles of the 21st century. Mackay Heater Hose is manufactured from heat and ozone resistant EPDM meeting or exceeding Spec. SAE 20R3 Class D-1. Burst pressure (min) 250 PSI, Working pressure (max) 40PSI. In vehicles of today, a hose has to be designed to withstand the stresses of modern, more compact but powerful engines that run hotter and at a higher pressure. Other factors include smaller engine compartments with poor heat dissipation, aggressive coolant additives, and stray (electrochemical) current that may be conducting through the cooling system. In short, the smaller but more powerful engines of today work a lot harder than the larger engines that were standard before. More heat is generated, higher burst pressures are required in cooling system components, and hoses have to be made tougher to withstand these demands. Mackay’s research and development chemists have developed new rubber formulations and manufacturing processes that ensure Mackay hoses meet the greater wear and heat demands created by modern engines. Rubber compounds used in automotive hoses today are predominantly synthetic rubber formulation. All Mackay coolant hoses are made from EPDM compounds that are highly resistant to ozone attack. Hoses made from some other rubber compounds may be subject to ozone deterioration.

Dayco’s Automatic Belt Tensioner features a patented “flat spring” design that’s engineered to provide less operating range variations in tension. This reduces the risk of premature accessory bearing failure due to high tension when a new belt is installed. It also lessens the risk of belt squeal and slippage, or poor accessory performance caused by low tension after the belt begins to stretch and wear. A Teflon strip wound within the spring resists abrasion. The flat spring itself is coated to resist rust.

Product Features:

• Heavy-duty cast aluminum spring case resists cracking and fatigue
• Steel locator pin and pivot tube (where the application demands)
• Heavy-duty cast aluminum arm offers additional strength and less distortion
• Thermoplastic rubber “spring slot plug” keeps out harmful contaminants
• Zinc coated mounting bolt (where included) resists rust, and is concentric for a more even degree of constant tension

Litens was the Original Equipment (O.E.) supplier of this Honda/Acura tensioner and offers this “OE Exact”* part for the aftermarket. This “OE Exact”* part for the aftermarket meets all original equipment form, fit, and function specifications. *(OE Exact – Original Equipment manufacturers prohibits the use of their part number or logo on parts sold to other customers. Therefore, the Litens aftermarket part may have minor cosmetic differences but still be exact in performance and design). The pulley bolt and washer has been integrated for the aftermarket part and the face-plate color is now silver. Caution: Many non-OE aftermarket suppliers have removed the required internal damping components.
