Hydraulic Timing Belt Tensioner
Hi,
I changed all the timings parts on 165000 KM except Hydraulic Tensioner and water pump. Now water pump is leaking (But stopped after few coolant leak and no voice) and now I want to change water pump and tensioner along.
I am not able to find near me this item...can I reuse it? Though this tensioner is leaked as well as I m sure last time the guy changed it ..compressed very fast.
Please advise.

if the tensioner is compromised in any way, time to change it. If the tensioner fails, you risk having the timing belt jump a few notches which can take out all the exhaust valves (major engine repair). Where are you located and what year/engine in your S80? You should be able to have the part shipped from an online parts store or eBay.
