Gates 06-11 Mercedes-Benz E350 V-6 3.5L Tensioner Assy. Belt Drive Tensioner

This is a belt drive tensioner assembly from Gates, designed to keep your accessory belts running at the correct tension. It's a crucial part of your engine's accessory drive system, which powers things like your alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. When the tensioner wears out, you might notice noise from the belts, or even see them slipping. This Gates tensioner fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the 2006-2011 Mercedes-Benz E350, 2008-2012 Mercedes-Benz C300, and 2007-2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500.

Gates is a well-known name in belts and tensioners, and this assembly is built to meet the demands of your vehicle's engine. It works by applying consistent pressure to the serpentine belt, preventing it from slipping or flapping, which can lead to reduced performance or premature belt wear. Replacing a worn tensioner is a smart move to ensure all your accessories are powered reliably and to avoid potential belt failure.
