VAG Tensioner Pulley 171609717

The VAG tensioner pulley (part code 171609717) is a critical component in your vehicle's accessory drive system. Its primary function is to maintain the correct tension on the serpentine or V-belt, which powers essential components like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. Proper belt tension is vital for the longevity and efficient operation of these accessories. A pulley that is too loose can cause the belt to slip, leading to reduced performance or complete failure of the driven components. Conversely, a pulley that is too tight can put excessive strain on the belt and the bearings of the accessories it drives, potentially causing premature wear and failure. Engineered to meet VAG's stringent quality standards, this tensioner pulley is designed for durability and reliable performance. It is manufactured with high-quality materials to withstand the demanding conditions of the engine bay, including heat, dirt, and constant motion. Replacing a worn or damaged tensioner pulley with this genuine VAG part will help ensure your accessory drive system functions as intended, preventing potential breakdowns and costly repairs.
