FAQ – Common Questions About Honda 14516-P2A-J00 Tensioner Spring

Does this spring fit my Honda?
Yes, it fits many Honda Civic, CR-X, HR-V, and Logo models with D-series engines. For absolute confirmation, check your vehicle’s VIN in the Honda parts catalog.

Can I replace just the spring?
Yes. Honda sells the spring separately, and replacing it during a timing belt service is recommended to maintain proper belt tension.

What are the signs of a worn tensioner spring?
A loose timing belt, rattling noises from the timing cover area, or irregular engine performance. Replacing the spring restores proper belt tension and smooth operation.

Why choose the genuine OEM part?
Only the genuine Honda OEM spring provides the precise tension and resilience required for long-term reliability. Aftermarket springs often differ in stiffness, leading to improper belt tension or premature wear.
