Product Description
The Arrowhead Tensioner Unit V Belt is a crucial component in your vehicle’s engine vee belt system, ensuring consistent tension and reliable drive of auxiliary components. This unit is designed to maintain optimal belt alignment and tension, helping to prevent slippage and premature belt wear. Its robust construction features a cast aluminium housing and integrated pulley, tailored for demanding engine environments.
This tensioner unit is compatible with select Audi and Volkswagen models, including certain Audi A4 B8, A5 2.0 TFSI, and Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 engines. Fitment can vary depending on engine size and code, so it is essential to confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing.
Common signs of a worn or failing vee belt tensioner include squealing or chirping noises from the engine bay, visible belt misalignment, excessive belt wear, vibration at idle, or loss of power to engine accessories. In some cases, warning lights may illuminate if the alternator or other driven components are affected.
Replacement of the tensioner unit is recommended if you notice any of these symptoms or during routine belt maintenance. Neglecting a faulty tensioner can lead to belt failure, loss of power steering, alternator issues, or engine overheating.
