An automotive idler pulley is a vital component in your vehicle’s drive system.
It provides smooth operation of the belt system that runs the various components in your engine.
The idler pulley uses tension on the belt system to keep it from slipping, which allows it to transfer power more efficiently.
It also prevents wear and tear from the belt system by reducing its contact with moving parts.
When you choose an idler pulley for your engine, you want one that is made from high-quality materials that will last for years.
Make sure to consider the size, type and tension capacity of the pulley - all of which are important factors when choosing the right idler pulley for your vehicle.
1. Q: What is an idler pulley?
A: An idler pulley is a wheel that connects a drive belt or chain to the motor and helps keep it in tension.
2. Q: What does an idler pulley do?
A: An idler pulley helps absorb excess tension from a drive belt or chain and prevent it from over-stressing the engine.
3. Q: How often should I replace an idler pulley?
A: It is recommended to replace an idler pulley every two years or at least once a year in order to ensure that the motor is running smoothly and efficiently.

Ring RTC Tyre inflator
Bought the tyre inflator because of the unreliable service station tyre inflators.
The buying process online through APD was straightforward. Ordered the tyre inflator late afternoon and received it 2 days later via the Royal mail.
I have a car, campervan and motorbike. I like the wind in cable feature keeps everything neat and tidy. The inflator is easy to use on all three vehicles. Appreciated the chocolate.
Very quick despatch and delivery time
Good updates. Items exactly as described. All fitted and car back on the road.
Personally I found them to be very...
helpful response to emails relating to my purchase was within the hour and they offered the best price on the parts I needed had to wait a couple of days longer than usual due to the parts that I needed was out of stock (but I was made aware of this before ordering) would happily use them again.
Very helpful company.
I ordered a cabin filter on their website which was out of stock. They contacted me by email & offered a replacement which wasn't really what I wanted so they immediately sent a refund. I found another that was suitable, they happily ordered it for me and called me when it arrived in my local store to collect.
Helpful people giving great service
The Wiper blades I ordered were competitively priced and promptly delivered. Unfortunately there was an issue with the fitment and this is where APD showed their commitment to great customer service. They were most helpful in resolving the problem to my complete satisfaction.
