belt tensioner bounce/rattle.
belt tensioner bounce/rattle.
hello
A few weeks ago I was driving and the belt snapped, when I was about to change it I saw the crank pulley was broken. I bought an ATI damper and intalled it. Since then the belt tensioner is bouncing/rattling most of the time.(gets worse when AC on and sometimes just dont rattle).
I have a 16% supercharger pulley and JCW belt size.
Any ideas what could be happening?

Then you must have a bad tensioner if the JCW isn't larger.
The JCW oem belt is indeed a bit larger. Not sure where that info came from. But the 535 belt is the right one for the 15/16% pullies. Anything larger and you will be bottoming out the tensioner.
If the tensioner is bouncing around in all likely hood the damper is worn out. Unfortunately this is not a replaceable part. The whole tensioner assembly will need to be replaced.

The info for the JCW belt came from Realoem, the other from outmotoring.com(dont know if its correct).
I checked the belt today and its starting to worn out with just 3 days and maybe 3 short rides. I think the new crank pulley might not be well installed, or when the belt broke the first time, it damaged something there
