Multi-ribbed belts, also called serpentine or poly-V belts, drive components such as the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor and, on many engines, the water pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe belt is made from a heat- and oil-resistant rubber compound with strong tensile cords running through its length. This construction keeps stretch to a minimum, holds tension over time and grips the pulleys firmly, even under heavy electrical and air conditioning loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: PK (multi-ribbed, 3.56mm rib pitch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of ribs: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective length: 1425mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate width: 17.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart reference: 5PK1425\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment and replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatch the rib count and length to your old belt or to your vehicle's parts listing before fitting. 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\u003eOur team is happy to answer questions about specifications, compatibility or ordering in larger quantities for fleet and workshop use. Pairing this part with a general inspection of the surrounding components is good practice, as related parts often wear at a similar rate. Keeping a spare on the shelf is a sensible move for workshops, fleet operators and home mechanics who would rather not wait on parts. Multi-ribbed belts are usually inspected at every service and replaced according to the manufacturer's interval or sooner if wear is found. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's service schedule and fitting instructions, and have the work carried out by a qualified technician if you are not confident doing it yourself. Stocked in New Zealand and dispatched quickly, so your vehicle spends less time off the road. Fitting a new belt is a low-cost way to restore charging performance, steering assist and air conditioning output.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57615320383560,"sku":"5PK1425","price":53.46,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_7cbcfb0f-6798-42bf-bd93-7f68536aed75.png?v=1793756914","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-5pk1425","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
