  • The larger of the two idler gears in this range

🔌 Function

Carries drive between two gears in the timing train, setting their spacing and direction of rotation.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Whine or growl from the timing end that follows engine speed
  • Rattle at idle that quietens under load
  • Play felt when the gear is rocked on its shaft
  • Teeth found pitted, chipped or with a distinct wear step
  • Bearing found rough or the bore worn, giving excess backlash

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Idler gear 478959 at 1.152 kg is the other idler in this range, so confirm which one your parts group shows before ordering
  • Set the backlash to specification on assembly and check the mating gears and the idler bearing for matching wear

📦 Condition
