• Confirm the engine suffix and original tensioner number.

• This tensioner must not be selected solely from the D4 or D6 engine name.

  

🔌 Function

  

The tensioner maintains compressor-belt pressure as belt length changes with temperature and wear.

  

Common signs of wear or failure:

  

• Compressor belt squeals

• Belt flutters at idle

• Supercharger does not engage correctly

• Reduced low-speed acceleration

• Tensioner arm oscillates excessively

• Pulley bearing rumbles

• Belt runs off-centre

• Tensioner spring feels weak

• Pulley seizes or develops radial play

  

Recommended checks before installation:

  

• Rotate the pulley bearing

• Check the arm through its full travel

• Inspect spring resistance

• Check the mounting bore and stop

• Inspect the compressor pulley and belt

• Replace a cracked, glazed or oil-contaminated belt

• Confirm belt routing before starting

  

📦 Condition

  

• Genuine Volvo Penta used part

• Pre-owned rotating and spring-loaded component

• Cosmetic marks and light corrosion may be present

• Bearing and spring operation must be checked before installation

• Supplied in protective or equivalent packaging
