2012 Ford Transit Connect Belts and Hoses

The Dayco automatic belt tensioner features Dayco’s original, patented flat spring design to provide less operating range variation. It reduces the risk of premature accessory bearing failure due to high tension and lessens the risk of belt noise and slippage – or poor performance caused by low tension. A PTFE string wound within the spring resists abrasion and dampens noise. Dayco’s tensioner is also designed with a heavy-duty cast aluminum spring case and arm, which helps resist cracking and fatigue and offers additional strength, lessening the risk of distortion. Additional premium thermoplastic rubber spring slot plugs and rubber O-ring seals help keep contaminants out and zinc coated mounting bolts resist rust.

Product Features:

• Endures the toughest conditions while promoting quieter performance and longer life
• Features a steel pivot tube on specific designs for enhanced stability
• Built to outperform and outlast competitive OE parts

The Dayco poly-V aramid belt is engineered to maintain a quiet, vibration-free belt drive system, especially for higher output OE engines that require an aramid belt. Unlike polyester-corded belts, this aramid cord belt is designed to resist the expected elongations, especially during high accessory loading. This unique feature of length stability and minimal stretch aids in difficult drives where span vibrations and tensioner movements are excessive. The Dayco aramid cord poly rib belt is built with Dayco’s specially designed EPDM rubber compounds to resist cracking and perform better under extreme temperature ranges.

Product Features:

• Designed for applications with an OEM aramid belt and is specifically helpful for those with noise, vibration or harshness issues, or in-drive systems in which tensioner take-up is minimal
• Length stability resists excessive span vibrations or tensioner movements
• Features special compounds that resist cracking and perform well under intense engine temperatures 

Dayco idler/tensioner pulleys are built with smoother surfaces and tighter dimensional tolerances, which translates to less vibration and longer belt life.
