Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right timing belt tensioner for a 2004-2018 Chevrolet Aveo 4-cylinder 1.6L?
Yes. Gates T43039 fits the 2004-2018 Chevrolet Aveo 4-cylinder 1.6L, and the car takes one. For other cars, look in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Does the Gates T43039 come with a timing belt or bolts?
No. Gates T43039 is one tensioner only, and a timing belt is a separate part.
What size is the pulley on this spring-type timing belt tensioner?
The pulley is 61 mm in outside diameter and 30 mm wide, with a smooth backside contact surface and no flange. There is one pulley on the tensioner.
How can I tell if the pulley on this tensioner is worn?
With the engine off and cool, look for play in the pulley or uneven wear on the belt. A rattle or whine from the front of the engine can also be a sign, and a shop can confirm it.
Does the Gates T43039 need the belt tensioned during installation?
No. The tensioner is built so the belt does not need a separate tensioning step at installation.
