Product Description

The Arrowhead Tensioner Unit V Belt is an essential component in the engine vee belt tensioner system for selected Mercedes-Benz models. This assembly maintains the correct tension on the V-belt, ensuring reliable operation of engine accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. Its robust cast metal body and integrated spring mechanism are designed to withstand the demands of daily driving.

This tensioner unit is specifically compatible with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including certain models within the W203, W204, W211 series equipped with the M271 engine. To ensure the correct fitment, always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering.

Common symptoms of a worn or failing vee belt tensioner include squealing or chirping noises from the belt area, visible belt misalignment, loss of tension, or signs of excessive belt wear.
