07K145172C Volkswagen HOLDER

This little part, it’s basically a guide and support for your serpentine belt – sometimes called the drive belt. It keeps the belt properly aligned and stops it from flapping around or rubbing on things it shouldn't. It doesn’t drive anything itself, it just makes sure the belt, which does drive things like your alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor, runs smoothly. It’s usually a molded plastic piece, pretty simple design. Think of it as a little track for the belt. It helps maintain the correct tension on the belt, keeps it from wandering off its path, and prevents excessive wear. It's positioned in the engine bay where the belt routes around different components. You'll typically find a few of these used together, strategically placed to guide the belt’s path. If this holder cracks or breaks, the belt can start to misalign, causing squealing noises. More seriously, it can cause the belt to wear out quickly, or even jump off a pulley. If the belt jumps off, things like your charging system or power steering could fail completely. It's a relatively inexpensive part, and replacing it before it causes bigger problems is always a good idea. We often see these fail due to age and heat. You’ll notice if one breaks, usually by a noticeable noise, or if your battery light comes on, because the alternator isn’t getting driven properly. Fixparts Online has a good selection of these, and we can usually get it to you pretty quickly. Guaranteed satisfaction: Holder (MPN 07K145172C) includes a 12-month warranty!
