AISIN Engine Timing Belt Tensioner Hydraulic Assembly P/N:BTM-003
AISIN BTM-001 engine timing belt tensioner hydraulic assembly for the 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant 4-cylinder 2.4L and other vehicles keeps tension on the engine timing belt.
A rattle or tick near the timing belt, or a belt that wears unevenly, can mean the tensioner is worn, though a tired timing belt or a failing idler pulley can produce a similar rattle.
The vehicles it fits include the 2005-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4-cylinder 2.4L, the 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 2004-2006 Lancer 4-cylinder 2.4L. The 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant 4-cylinder 2.4L takes one. If your car is not named here, look up its year and engine on the Buyer's Guide tab.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Does the AISIN BTM-001 fit the 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant 4-cylinder 2.4L?
Yes. AISIN BTM-001 fits the 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant 4-cylinder 2.4L. For another car, look up its year and engine on the Buyer's Guide tab.
Is this hydraulic timing belt tensioner right for the 2005-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4-cylinder 2.4L?
Yes. This tensioner fits the 2005-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4-cylinder 2.4L, and that car takes one.
How does the AISIN BTM-001 keep belt tension right at different engine speeds?
This tensioner uses hydraulic pressure to set belt tension and adjusts it automatically across the RPM range. Its OE engineered pressurized mechanism also takes up timing belt vibration.
Can a worn hydraulic tensioner make noise near the timing belt?
Yes. A worn tensioner can leave the belt without proper tension, which can bring a rattle or tick from the front of the engine. A shop can inspect it, since the timing cover hides the belt.
Does the AISIN BTM-001 replace TBT160?
Yes. TBT160 is one of the numbers this tensioner replaces, along with 420-193 and MR984375. The full list is on the Interchange line.
