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\u003eA durable rubber compound resists heat, oil and ozone, while high-strength tensile cords limit stretch.

Correct sizing keeps the automatic tensioner within its working range. 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\u003eWorkshops can order with confidence for customer vehicles, and private owners can tackle routine maintenance knowing the part is made to suit the job. Buying the correct part the first time saves on labour, avoids repeat jobs and gets the vehicle back to work sooner. 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. If you are unsure about fitment, send us your vehicle registration, make, model and year before ordering and we will help you confirm the right part. Fitting a new belt is a low-cost way to restore charging performance, steering assist and air conditioning output. 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. Keeping a spare on the shelf is a sensible move for workshops, fleet operators and home mechanics who would rather not wait on parts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57615318646856,"sku":"5PK990","price":34.16,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_f6e5f928-623e-4423-bcb6-c3410f7ce1c4.png?v=1793756780","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-5pk990","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
