This upgraded pulley comes with a pre-installed bearing to provide improved reliability and consistent belt control. Designed as a direct-fit replacement, it works with all 3.0T Supercharged engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory pulleys are made from plastic, which can become a failure point as mileage, heat cycles, and belt load increase. Over time, the original pulley may crack, distort, or wear in ways that affect performance and dependability. By switching to billet aluminum, you get a more robust component that is better suited to handle long-term use and demanding conditions without the flex or deterioration associated with plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to increased strength, the billet construction helps maintain more consistent belt alignment and tracking. That means a more stable setup, better durability, and added confidence whether the vehicle is stock or sees harder use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis assembly is available as a stand-alone pulley or an OEM tensioner with a billet aluminum 7-rib pulley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet aluminum pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC-machined from 6061 aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStronger and more durable than the factory plastic pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps improve belt alignment and tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Audi 3.0T Supercharged Engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProudly Engineered in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Tensioner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLitens 950961A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"here\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fcpeuro.com\/products\/audi-supercharger-belt-tensioner-litens-950961a\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e for $43 bringing the total assembly to \u003cstrong\u003e$118\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstalls in place of the factory tensioner pulley with no modification required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Engine Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCAKA, CCAA, CCBA, CCDA, CGWA, CGWB, CGXC, CTUA, CTUB, CREC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-fitment-section\" style=\"margin: 20px 0;
