Product Description

This Arrowhead Tensioner Timing Belt is a critical ENGINE TIMING BELT TENSIONER designed for select Audi and Volkswagen models. The tensioner maintains the correct tension on the timing belt, ensuring precise synchronisation of the engine’s camshaft and crankshaft. Proper tension is vital to prevent belt slippage and to keep your engine running smoothly.

This part is compatible with various Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. It is especially important for models fitted with 1.8T and 2.0 engines, such as the Audi A4 B6 and B7. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure this tensioner is the correct fit for your application.

Common symptoms of a failing timing belt tensioner include unusual engine noises (such as rattling or squealing), irregular engine timing, visible slack or wear on the timing belt, engine misfires, difficulty starting, and warning lights on the dashboard. If left unattended, a faulty tensioner can lead to severe engine damage.

It is recommended to replace the timing belt tensioner at the same time as the timing belt, or if you notice any warning signs of wear or malfunction. Regular inspection during scheduled maintenance intervals can help prevent unexpected failures and costly repairs.

When should timing belts or chains be replaced?

Timing belts are typically replaced according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval, which varies by model. Chains are generally replaced when noise, wear, or stretch is detected. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a qualified mechanic.
