This is a V-ribbed belt, also known as a serpentine belt, which drives multiple engine accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. It is constructed from a durable, reinforced rubber compound designed for flexibility and resistance to heat and wear, unlike a frayed or cracked old belt. Operators may notice a squealing noise from the engine bay, a loss of power steering assist, or the battery warning light illuminating if this belt fails.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first indication of a failing V-ribbed belt is often a loud squealing sound, particularly on startup or when accessories are engaged. If the belt breaks, it will lead to a loss of function for all driven accessories, such as the alternator and power steering. Continued operation with a worn belt risks sudden failure, leaving the vehicle immobilized and potentially causing damage to other engine components.
Release tension on the belt using the tensioner pulley and carefully route the new belt around all accessory pulleys in the correct sequence. Ensure the belt is properly seated in all pulley grooves.
Inspect the belt tensioner and all accessory pulleys for smooth operation and wear when replacing the V-ribbed belt.
