Product Description

Ensure reliable engine performance with the Arrowhead Tensioner Unit V Belt, designed specifically for Audi and Volkswagen models. This engine vee belt tensioner maintains the correct tension on your vehicle’s V-belt, helping to drive essential accessories such as the alternator and air conditioning compressor. Its robust cast metal construction and integrated mounting bracket are engineered for durability in demanding engine environments.

This part is compatible with selected Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. To avoid incorrect orders, always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing. If you are unsure about fitment, our team at MiMi Auto Parts is ready to assist.

Common signs of a failing vee belt tensioner include squealing or chirping noises from the engine bay, visible belt slippage, irregular accessory operation, or noticeable vibrations when the engine is running. You may also notice the belt appears loose or misaligned.

Replace the tensioner unit if you experience any of these symptoms, or during scheduled maintenance intervals as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Timely replacement helps prevent belt failure and protects other engine components from unnecessary wear.
