Automotive Tips from Auto Repair Milwaukee: Serpentine Belt Tensioner Dec 09, 2015 The serpentine belt tensioner applies pressure to the serpentine belt, maintaining optimal tension to drive the accessories like the alternator and A/C compressor. At Auto Repair Milwaukee we know that the service life of the belt tensioner is the same as the belt itself, so they should always be replaced together. A worn tensioner prevents the accessories from spinning properly, leading to premature wear and noise for Milwaukee drivers.
