Gates Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly P/N:39455
Gates 38211 belt tensioner for the 1994-1999 Mercedes-Benz S320 6-cylinder 3.2L and other vehicles holds the accessory drive belt at the correct tension. This Gates belt tensioner takes up belt slack automatically.
A squealing belt, a fluttering belt or uneven belt wear can point to a worn serpentine belt tensioner, though the belt itself or an accessory pulley bearing can be behind them too, so find the cause first. Each engine takes one.
