A high-strung engine must be built ruggedly. Cheap plastic parts made corporate teams happy, but they FAIL racers. Invest smartly.
This all-metal tensioner is extremely light weight (6oz/170g) and contains a precision 20k-rpm bearing. It will perform more quietly and will far outlast the OEM plastic bits. Installation is a breeze: Simply release belt tension, remove the tensioner pulley bolt, and swap parts.
This pulley replaces the pulley found the tensioner OEM P/N 06J-903-133-A (06A903133A) and fits VW Golf, GTI, Jetta, EOS, Passat and Audi A3, A4, A6, MK2 TT with the 2.0 TSI engine (vs. FSI).
