FAQs
What is an aux belt tensioner?
An auxiliary belt tensioner is a component in a vehicle's engine that maintains the correct tension on the serpentine belt (also known as the V-ribbed belt). This ensures that all driven accessories, such as the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor, function correctly.
How do I know if my aux belt tensioner needs replacing?
Common signs include squealing noises from the engine, especially on startup or acceleration, premature wear or cracking of the serpentine belt, or malfunctioning of engine accessories. Visual inspection may reveal excessive movement or damage to the tensioner.
Is this tensioner compatible with my vehicle?
This Gates T39377 tensioner is designed for specific V-ribbed systems and is compatible with certain Peugeot, Citroën, DS, and Opel models. It is crucial to verify fitment using the make and model tool or by contacting customer support with your vehicle's details before purchase.
What does 'DriveAlign technology' mean?
DriveAlign technology refers to Gates' system for ensuring precise and consistent belt tension. It helps to maintain optimal performance and longevity of the belt and associated components.
Can I replace the tensioner myself?
Replacing a belt tensioner typically requires some mechanical knowledge and potentially specialized tools. If you are not experienced with serpentine belt systems, it is recommended to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation.
What are the physical dimensions of this tensioner?

What is the warranty on this part?
Warranty information may vary. Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy or contact customer support for details regarding the warranty applicable to this Gates T39377 Aux Belt Tensioner.
Troubleshooting
Squealing noise from engine bay
This can indicate a worn or failing tensioner that is not maintaining proper belt tension. Inspect the tensioner for excessive movement or damage. Consider replacing the tensioner and the serpentine belt.
Premature serpentine belt wear or cracking
An improperly functioning tensioner can cause the belt to run at incorrect tension, leading to premature wear. Check the tensioner's ability to absorb shock and maintain consistent tension.
Accessory malfunction (e.g., battery not charging, AC not working)
A faulty tensioner can lead to belt slippage, reducing the efficiency of driven accessories. Ensure the tensioner is providing adequate tension to the belt.
Noise when starting or accelerating
This could be a sign of a weak spring in the tensioner or a worn pulley bearing within the tensioner assembly. Listen for specific noises like rattling or grinding.

Care:
This is a maintenance-free component designed for the life of the belt system. Regular visual inspection of the belt and tensioner during routine maintenance is advised.
