Product Description

The Arrowhead Tensioner Unit V Belt is designed for precise control of the V-belt tension in select Audi engines. This tensioner ensures that your engine's auxiliary components, such as the alternator and air conditioning compressor, operate smoothly by maintaining the correct belt tension. Its robust cast aluminium construction and integrated pulley are engineered for durability and long service life under South African driving conditions.

This part is suitable for Audi models, including certain A4 B6 and B7 variants with 1.8T, 2.0, and 2.0TFSI engines produced between 2001 and 2008. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure compatibility before ordering.

Common symptoms of a failing V-belt tensioner include squealing or chirping noises from the engine bay, visible belt slack, erratic accessory operation, or warning lights related to the charging system. You may also notice vibration or excessive movement in the belt or pulley, or even premature belt wear and breakage.

If you experience any of these issues, it is advisable to inspect and replace the tensioner unit promptly. Replacing a worn or faulty tensioner helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and protects other engine components from damage.

Order your Arrowhead V-belt tensioner from MiMi Auto Parts with confidence. We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa and are committed to helping you find the right part for your Audi. For best results, double-check your vehicle details before purchasing.
