Product Description

Keep your BMW's engine running smoothly with the Arrowhead Tensioner V Belt 17X70X26MM. This vee belt tensioner is designed to maintain the correct tension on your engine's V-belt, ensuring efficient power delivery to critical components such as the alternator and water pump. Accurate belt tension helps prevent slippage and premature wear, supporting optimal engine performance.

This part is specifically suited for select BMW models. To guarantee correct fitment, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering. The tensioner pulley features a robust metal outer ring and a durable, finned inner structure, tailored for reliable operation in demanding engine environments.

Common symptoms of a failing vee belt tensioner include squealing or chirping noises from the engine bay, visible belt misalignment, loss of power steering or alternator function, engine overheating, and excessive belt wear. You may also notice vibrations or a loose, flapping belt during operation.

If you experience any of these issues, it is recommended to inspect and replace the tensioner promptly. Replacing a worn or damaged tensioner restores proper belt tension, prevents further damage to related engine components, and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
