When servicing the accessory drive system, it is very important to change the tensioner and the drive belt. With SKF you get a belt that is the same length as the OE (the belt is sold separately), which reduces the risk of breakage further down the road. The tensioner (VKM 31034) contains two parts – a plastic idler and a spring mounted together.
