Land Rover Part Number: LGQ000020 - Timing Chain Tensioner
LGQ000020 is a timing chain tensioner fitted to the timing chain system of 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo diesel engines. It controls chain slack to keep camshaft and crankshaft timing aligned, helping to reduce chain noise, limit wear to guides and sprockets and maintain accurate valve timing. Worn or failed tensioners can permit excessive slack that allows the chain to skip teeth, which may alter valve timing and lead to poor running or internal engine damage; inspect the tensioner for noise, slack or visible wear and replace at recommended service intervals to maintain timing-system integrity on Defender engines fitted with the 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo diesel.
