Product Overview
The Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner PQG500160 is an OE-grade automatic spring-loaded tensioner engineered for the 3.6L TDV8 twin-turbo diesel engine in select for Land Rover vehicles. This tensioner maintains correct tension on the auxiliary serpentine drive belt that turns the engine ancillaries. Its spring-loaded arm and pulley keep the belt tracking correctly and prevent slip, squeal and premature belt wear; a weak or seized tensioner is a common cause of belt noise and accessory drive failure.

Signs of Failure
Belt squeal or chirping – from the front of the engine, especially at cold start or under load
Rattling or grinding pulley – indicating bearing wear
Visible belt wear or misalignment – belt not tracking correctly
Accessory drive failure – if left, a failed tensioner can throw the drive belt and stop the ancillaries
💡 The tensioner arm typically weakens or the bearing seizes with age. Replace at the first sign of noise.
