The Audi A5 has two generations so far. Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2007, the A5 marked Audi's return to the compact executive coupe market after the project stopped in 1996. Audi A5 has come with plenty of quality vehicles and parts, including the belt tensioner. The belt tensioner is a pulley that is mounted on a spring mechanism or a pivot mount that you can adjust.
The Audi A5 stands out for its great parts. But consumers need new belt tensioner parts if they are worn or damaged. The removal process for Audi A5 belt tensioner parts is as follows. First, remove accessories in the way if needed (water pump, alternator, radiator hoses). Next, remove the belt from the accessories, then remove the mounting bolts for the belt tensioner, pull the tensioner away from its location, and compare it to the new unit. A belt tensioner should be checked every 50,000-100,000 miles. We have nearly all types of Audi A5 parts in our catalog to give you a better vehicle both inside and out.
