Description
If the accessory belt is sloppy and loose in your vehicle, your generator, power steering, and AC might not work properly. Alternatively, if your belt snaps constantly, the tensioner is too tight.
With either problem, the only solution is a new tensioner. This unit is a direct replacement for an original, worn out unit. It applies the proper amount of tension to the belt to keep it tight against all of the accessory pulleys.
Recommended to be replaced any time accessory work is performed or when belts are replaced.
ECS stocks a large selection of accessory belts, pulleys, and belt tensioners from both OEM and name brand aftermarket suppliers. We even offer a complete kit to replace your accessory belt, tensioner and hardware!
* This part is designed for the FSI engine only. This can easily be found on the engine cover of your 2.0T VW/Audi. It will clearly be stamped FSI (not TFSI).
