Product Description

The Arrowhead Tensioner Unit V Belt is a crucial component in the engine vee belt tensioner system for select Volkswagen models. This unit maintains the correct tension on the vee belt, ensuring reliable operation of engine accessories such as the alternator and air conditioning compressor. Its robust construction features a grooved pulley and integrated mounting bracket for secure installation and dependable performance.

This tensioner unit is specifically compatible with Volkswagen vehicles, including certain Polo 6R and Up models with 1.0 and 1.6 engines. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

If you notice any of these issues, the tensioner may need to be replaced.
