OE 022145276A — Tensioner Pulley for Audi

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 022145276A; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.

Export packing is a neutral carton with inner protection; custom labels, barcodes and box specifications are available for volume orders. Shipments move FOB Guangzhou or Shenzhen, with CIF and DDP terms negotiable.

Yes, if the alternate shares the same engineering envelope. Shortlist candidates from the Related OE References table, then check bolt pattern, electrical pinout and material grade. A difference in any of those three means it is a different part, not a substitute.

Treat it as a wear item: inspect every 20,000-30,000 km and replace at the first sign of leakage, noise or performance loss. Real service life swings widely with climate, road surface and duty cycle, so mileage on its own is a weak indicator.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

Aftermarket tensioner pulley comes from tooling houses that hold the original drawings or licensed equivalents. KingMay sources from vetted factories and inspects each batch; the manufacturer name is available on request where your market requires origin documentation.
