**Manual Timing Belt Tensioner Solution from INTEGRATED ENGINEERING!**

**woodywoods86** · 11-16-2010 01:17 AM

Just ordered mine today, overnight shipping. Can't wait to install it tomorrow. I already bought a new hydraulic tensioner and installed it, but the same night saw this product and its benefits had to have it. No more screaming after pulling the pin and being one tooth off. And no more noise from the belt being too tight.

Thanks John for hooking me up with a kit w/o the belt. IE is definitely in my FAVORITES for future buys. MAD Props to IE.

How Is the installation on this kit? I am doing my timing belt in two weeks but since I am mechanically inclined I will be taking it to a shop, so what I am trying to figure out is if it will be a lot more labor to install this or is it as simple as changing the timing belt and tensioners?

do you read at all or just skim to the end? REALLY?????

aside from just coming to you and doing it for you, i cannot make this any easier for you. and i think you meant since you are NOT mechanically inclined you are taking it to people that are.

They are available. There was a few problems with the website, should be good to go now

**groggory** · 11-17-2010 05:38 PM

Put mine on a couple weeks ago. Piece of cake, went on perfectly on my AWP engine.

**Dave@integrated** · 11-20-2010 05:41 PM

AEB version is off for anodizing.

**Cassidy@Integrated** · 11-23-2010 12:46 AM

Who needs AEB mechanical tensioners?

i take that as the offering that they are available now.... ????

**jimgiggles** · 11-23-2010 09:03 PM

I'm assuming the anodizing will take a few days, and if he sent it out Monday, then it should be back by the end of the week, then assembly.. etc

I'm anxious

**Cassidy@Integrated** · 12-01-2010 03:46 PM

AEB tensioners should be back from anodizing here in a few days..

Sorry guys, had to go the old fashioned route, I need to get this car up and running, next time I do the TB, i'll be sure to try it out.. Take me off the list

**Cassidy@Integrated** · 12-10-2010 05:53 PM

**Williams04GTI** · 12-10-2010 07:52 PM

Is there a AWP version ?

**Dave@integrated** · 12-10-2010 10:16 PM

For AWP you need the "06A kit."

**Stixsp11** · 03-08-2011 06:44 PM

I just bought one of these kits yesterday, but I have one question. How does that bolt keep from loosening when all the belt tension is pushing on that tensioner. Does it lock in place or does the belt turn in a manner that would only tighten the bolt on the tensioner? I would just be afraid of all the engine vibration and belt tension loosening that bolt then the tensioner swinging down and having the belt slip then there goes my precious AEB head and block.

**pete@integrated** · 03-08-2011 06:50 PM

It's held in place by clamping force from the stud / nut. Same way all the vw 4 cyl's were from the rabbit all the way up to the mk3's. They never slip unless you don't tighten the bolt haha.

**White Jetta** · 03-08-2011 06:55 PM

A little Loctite never hurts either.

**xtremvw2** · 03-08-2011 07:05 PM

our drag car turning 9800rpm as no issues with this manual set up, for that matter no issues with none
of IE product

**schwartzmagic** · 03-09-2011 10:56 AM

I'm gonna agree with Marc. My motor can rev to over 8K and I've never had a problem either with the tensioner. Routinely check for proper tension on the belt and you should be good. Makes replacing the belt SO much easier too for the next belt change or if you upgrade to a Gates belt.

to IE's products.

**bauch1425** · 03-21-2011 02:18 PM

Thinking of picking one of these up after my new hydraulic tensioner failing to tensioner properly on a TB replacement and causing head damage...

Question is, I have a new belt and TB roller already so could I just pick up the billet manual tensioner piece without the rest of the kit?

Answered this myself my giving a call. Answer for anyone else wondering is you have to buy the TB roller because you can't get the hardware independently... Lame, but I'm still ordering anyway. lol

**Slimjimmn** · 03-24-2011 10:24 PM

you should offer the kits with the gates kevlar belt, since this is considered a "performance" upgrade over the stock tensioner.

yes was thinking the same thing. i see you offer the gates belt with the regualr tensioner but not the mechanical one?

**pete@integrated** · 03-25-2011 01:22 PM

We don't sell the gates belt at all yet. We're sticking with the tried & true (as long as you keep them fresh) conti-tech belts until there is some evidence the gates belt is better. Or as even good.

**Roach the great** · 03-25-2011 09:26 PM

i just installed this on my daily driver this past weekend awesome product and great quality

**xXGti2006Xx** · 03-28-2011 08:23 PM

so if i am having an aeb head on 06a block which kit am i getting? Also if tightening needs to be done to the tensioner after belt stretch, how much room is there really to even do this while engine is in car

**MKllllvr28** · 03-29-2011 08:10 PM

put my order in today

**Cassidy@Integrated** · 04-01-2011 07:49 PM

Hey guys, just a quick picture for you.

This is to show that the belt can be re-tightened without pulling out the motor mount.

**Slimjimmn** · 04-02-2011 10:40 AM

So much easier to do than the stupid 8mm style!

**xXGti2006Xx** · 04-02-2011 11:00 AM

thanks alot for the adjustment image, you def know what kit i will be getting

. Does the wrench come with the kit?
