Product Description
Keep your engine running smoothly with the Arrowhead Tensioner V Belt 75x26mm 2 Pin, designed for precise control of vee belt tension in select BMW and Peugeot models. This brand new engine vee belt tensioner ensures your belt system maintains the correct tension, reducing the risk of slippage and uneven wear. It features a robust metal and plastic assembly, a smooth pulley surface, and a 2-pin electrical connector for proper integration with your vehicle’s engine management system.
This tensioner is compatible with various BMW models, including F20 and F21 1 Series (116i to 120i) and F30 316i, as well as select Peugeot vehicles. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure a perfect fit.
Common symptoms of a failing vee belt tensioner include squealing or chirping noises from the belt area, visible belt misalignment, excessive belt wear, engine overheating, and illuminated warning lights. You may also notice reduced performance of engine-driven accessories or a loose, vibrating belt.
Replace the tensioner if you observe any of these symptoms or during scheduled belt replacement intervals. Timely replacement prevents costly damage to the belt drive system and ensures reliable operation of essential engine components.
