I was told yesterday that my TENSIONER SET - ACURA (04317-RCA-305) & 38920-RCA-A03 is making noise and will need to be changed soon.
Back in Jan 2014 i had my Tensioner changed with the timing, serp, water pump etc. Is this a different part? i can't see how these things are failing so quickly...
The dealer quoted me $228 parts 1.5hrs of labor at $123hr is this a DIY kind of job?
I have most of the tools necessary and some i can borrow from a neighbor military mechanic. Said he would give a hand if needed.
I am pretty mechanical inclined with regards to doing small things…not sure how this compares.
Could it be that this part just need to be tightened?
thanks.
