Timing Belt Tensioner Pulley Compatible with VW Golf IV 1.4 / 1.6 16V & Polo 1.4 16V

Replacement Timing Belt Tensioner Pulley compatible with selected Volkswagen Golf IV and Polo petrol models fitted with 16-valve engines.

This pulley forms part of the engine timing-belt system and helps maintain the correct belt tension while the engine is running. A worn or damaged tensioner bearing may result in belt noise, incorrect belt tension, premature timing-belt wear or, in severe cases, timing-system failure.

• Model year
• Engine size
