Serpentine Belt Tensioner Long Style 3885250 for Volvo Penta 4.3 5.0 5.7 8.1L Crusader
Product Overview
Long-style serpentine belt tensioner for Volvo Penta and Crusader marine engines from 4.3 L to 8.1 L. It replaces Volvo Penta 3885250 and 3587858, Crusader / PCM RA068001 and Sierra 18-6457. The tensioner holds belt load on the accessory drive, and a worn unit shows up as a chirp that goes away when you spray the belt, a belt that walks off the pulley, or a tensioner arm that no longer returns. Supplied as 1 x tensioner.

Before You Buy
- Measure the arm length on your existing tensioner before ordering — this is the LONG style
- Volvo Penta also used a short-style tensioner on some 4.3 L and 5.0 L engines; the two are not interchangeable
- Verify your engine model and serial number
- Inspect the belt at the same time — a failed tensioner usually glazes the belt
- 30-Day Easy Returns
- Free Worldwide Shipping
- OEM Quality Without the Markup
