Idler Pulley Replacement

An idler pulley is responsible for guiding and maintaining tension with the drive belt. The drive belt
(also called the serpentine belt) connects the engine to various components of the vehicle (such
as the air conditioning, power steering, and alternator). Power is transferred from the engine to
these systems via the drive belt. The belt is held in place by the idler pulley, which keeps the tension
on the drive belt and guides it.

Leak Detection Pump Replacement

A faulty leak detection pump can interfere with your vehicle’s evaporative emissions control system, making it difficult to detect leaks in the fuel vapour system. This system helps prevent fuel vapours from escaping into the atmosphere and may trigger a Check Engine Light when a fault is detected. Common signs of a problem include an illuminated warning light, an emissions-related diagnostic trouble code, or a failed emissions test where applicable. Ask Auto Parts Africa offers a Leak Detection Pump Replacement Service to help identify and resolve faults affecting this important system. A qualified mechanic will use diagnostic equipment to check the pump, electrical connections, hoses, and related evaporative emissions components to confirm the cause of the fault. If the leak detection pump is defective, it will be replaced with a compatible part suited to your vehicle’s make and model. The mechanic will then check the system for proper operation and carry out any required diagnostic tests according to the manufacturer’s procedures. Replacing a faulty leak detection pump helps restore the system’s ability to monitor fuel vapour leaks and can resolve warning lights caused by the defective component.
