Detailed Description

This Vaico accessory drive belt tensioner pulley is engineered for the belt drive system on 2002-2008 Mini Cooper models. The pulley dimensions are listed at 70 mm outer diameter, 68 mm width, and 32 mm height, with an 8 mm inner diameter, helping ensure the correct belt path and tensioner alignment. The Polyamid 6.6 material supports use in a demanding underhood environment where heat and continuous rotation are part of normal operation. This part cross-references URO 11280946004 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Belt noise caused by a worn tensioner pulley surface
• Uneven accessory belt tracking from pulley wear
• Reduced belt stability in the accessory drive system
• Visible pulley damage, cracking, or deformation
• Service replacement for OE No. 11280946004 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley dimensions and OE reference before installation on your Mini Cooper. Inspect the accessory drive belt, tensioner arm, and adjacent pulleys for wear at the same time, since a new pulley will not correct damage elsewhere in the belt system. Confirm proper seating and alignment during installation to maintain smooth belt operation.

Quality Assurance
