Gates 18-21 Volkswagen Tiguan 4-Cyl. 2.0L Tensioner Assy. Belt Drive Tensioner

Gates is a well-known name for dependable engine components, and this belt drive tensioner assembly is no exception. It's designed to keep the accessory belt on your vehicle properly tensioned, which is crucial for the correct operation of components like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. This tensioner assembly fits a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including the Audi A4, Audi A6, and Volkswagen GTI.

This tensioner is built with durable materials to withstand the constant movement and heat generated by the accessory belt system. A properly functioning tensioner ensures the belt maintains consistent contact with the pulleys, preventing slippage that can lead to reduced performance or premature belt wear. When you're replacing your accessory belt or experiencing noise from the front of the engine, a new tensioner assembly is often a smart part of the job.
