This Belt Tensioner/Pulley, part number 036109243AE from VAG, is a critical component for your vehicle's engine. It plays a vital role in maintaining the correct tension on the serpentine belt, which drives essential accessories like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor.

Crafted with high-quality materials and engineered to VAG's strict standards, this tensioner/pulley assembly offers reliable and long-lasting service. Replacing your belt tensioner at recommended intervals or when signs of wear are present will help prevent premature belt wear and ensure your engine's accessories function as intended.
