Ford Edge Belt Handover Failure

My 2010 Ford Edge, gasoline engine, is at 241242 km and the belt-handover no longer functions. I think the belt bringer/handover itself is defective. Does that sound right, or am I missing something?

I had a similar issue on my Ford Edge. Is the idler pulley showing any wear? Erratic engine performance can be from a faulty belt tensioner. Check also for timing belt issues.

Thanks. When you had similar issues, was the belt tensioner the cause? What did you do to fix it?

Yes. The belt tensioner was the problem. Given the symptoms, I'd suggest a workshop visit. I was quoted 455€ and it was worth it.

Okay, thanks for the confirmation and the price idea. I'll get a workshop diagnostic.
