Product Description

The Arrowhead Tensioner Unit V Belt is designed to maintain the correct tension on the vee belt in Volkswagen engines, ensuring smooth operation of engine accessories such as the alternator and power steering pump. This engine vee belt tensioner features a robust metal bracket and a ribbed pulley, engineered to withstand the demands of daily driving in South African conditions.

This part is compatible with select Volkswagen models, including certain Golf IV 1.9 TDI and Transporter T5 1.9 TDI variants. It is important to check your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

A failing vee belt tensioner can cause a range of problems, including squealing noises from the engine bay, visible belt slippage or misalignment, and loss of function in engine-driven components. You may also notice vibration, uneven wear on the belt, or warning lights for charging or power steering systems.

Replace your vee belt tensioner if you observe excessive play in the pulley, visible cracks or damage, or if the tensioner arm does not maintain proper belt tension. Regular inspection is recommended during scheduled maintenance intervals, especially if you experience any of the common symptoms.
