Tension rollers have to meet a number of demanding parameters:

• Minimum extension of the belt during long-term stress;
• Maintenance-free operation;
• Error-free operation through the service life.

The distribution mechanism includes tension rollers, whose task is to correctly tighten the timing belt. The correct setting and quality of timing belts and tension rollers are therefore exceedingly important for the long service life of an engine and the safe operation of a vehicle.

The origin of these parts should not be ignored, so we recommend genuine ŠKODA parts to ŠKODA car owners. The guaranteed high quality of the materials used and the precise production process has enabled, for example, an extension of the interval for changing a timing belt on a Fabia with a 1.9 TDI PD/74kW engine from 90,000 km to 120,000 km.

ŠKODA genuine belts and pulleys are now supplied in advantageously priced sets, which contain:

• A timing belt;
• Tension rollers; and
• Guide rollers.
