Product Description

The Arrowhead Tensioner V Belt 17X70X26MM is designed for precise tensioning of the V belt in BMW engines. This tensioner ensures the correct operation of your engine's accessory drive system, helping to maintain proper belt alignment and tension for optimal performance. Made with a durable plastic pulley and a robust central metal bearing, it is built to handle the demands of daily driving.

This V belt tensioner is compatible with select BMW models. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment. The tensioner is a key component in the engine vee belt system, and is engineered to fit BMW vehicles as specified in the fitment data.

Common symptoms of a failing V belt tensioner include squealing or chirping noises from the engine bay, visible belt misalignment, excessive belt wear, or a loose or slipping belt. In some cases, you may notice intermittent loss of power to engine-driven accessories or warning lights related to charging or cooling systems.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to inspect the tensioner and replace it if necessary. Replacing a worn or faulty tensioner promptly can prevent further damage to the belt and other engine components, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns.
