A belt even a few millimetres off can upset tensioner travel and cause slip or early wear. Common signs a belt needs replacing include squealing on start-up, visible cracks across the ribs, fraying edges, glazing or a battery warning light. It is good practice to inspect the tensioner and idler pulleys at the same time and replace them if they are noisy or rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuality replacement parts like this help keep running costs predictable and reduce the chance of an unexpected roadside breakdown. Multi-ribbed belts are usually inspected at every service and replaced according to the manufacturer's interval or sooner if wear is found. Buying the correct part the first time saves on labour, avoids repeat jobs and gets the vehicle back to work sooner. Stocked in New Zealand and dispatched quickly, so your vehicle spends less time off the road. Regular maintenance with dependable replacement parts protects the value of your vehicle and helps it pass its next Warrant of Fitness or Certificate of Fitness inspection. Fitting a new belt is a low-cost way to restore charging performance, steering assist and air conditioning output. Every part is checked against its part number before dispatch, so what arrives matches what you ordered. Make sure the belt is routed correctly around every pulley before releasing the tensioner, and use a belt routing diagram if one is available under the bonnet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57615317631048,"sku":"5PK1285","price":50.49,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_ad213897-d537-42dc-8cb7-07dfe3ef3c64.png?v=1793756733","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-5pk1285","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
