Top one. I think the bottom one is a newer version, but I was unable to verify it on the online honda parts site. It is a photo I found here on the forum.

Your top picture is the serpetine belt tensioner, the second pic is the EP3 idler which mounts to the tensioner, you need both.

I could of swore I just used one of them, been over a year since that car was in the shop though. Thanks man :up:

can anyone verify?

Verify what? The top pic is the auto tensioner. The bottom pic is the ep3 idler pulley as stated...

 

[laocivic]

ok do i need both then?

 

[kommon_sense]

exactly what are you trying to accomplish and what accessories do you want/need? p/s? a/c? etc?

If running a normal pulley setup then you need the tensioner. If you do not plan to run power steering, then you need the ep3 idler pulley.

since we are on the topic of auto tensioner, where does the arrow have to be , to be sure that its at a good fit

 

[kommon_sense]

There is a rectangle on the body of the tensioner. You want the arrow to point within the rectangle.

i lost my manuel but found it thanks, it has to be between the to squares,
