Perfect Tensioner for Automotive Belts

The Gates belt tensioner assembly in Hoses & Pulleys category is just what my car needed! According TO my experience, this product is robust and operates smoothly. The installation process is easy and quick saving time. It does an excellent job at maintaining proper tension on the belt, improving the car's performance. The only con is the slightly higher price than other options, but its worth paying for the quality .Overall, I highly recommend this belt tensioner assembly for any automotive…

Pros
  • Easy and quick installation
Cons
  • May require frequent maintenance

Quality clamps from a quality company!

Great price on Amazon! Exactly what I needed for a 2002 Volkswagen Beetle with a 2.0L engine to replace a $149,000 factory OE part on it. Gates is a highly respected aftermarket brand so feel confident with this purchase! Don't skimp on something as important as the belt tensioner that drives the alternator to charge the battery, the power steering pump, and the A/C compressor (if you have air conditioning). Perfect fit and exactly like the original part. The product came in a sealed factory…

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Clarity
