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: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective length: 1540mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate width: 21.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart reference: 6PK1540\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\u003eEvery part is checked against its part number before dispatch, so what arrives matches what you ordered. Multi-ribbed belts are usually inspected at every service and replaced according to the manufacturer's interval or sooner if wear is found. Pairing this part with a general inspection of the surrounding components is good practice, as related parts often wear at a similar rate. Fitting a new belt is a low-cost way to restore charging performance, steering assist and air conditioning output. 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. Keeping a spare on the shelf is a sensible move for workshops, fleet operators and home mechanics who would rather not wait on parts. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57615319466056,"sku":"6PK1540","price":65.34,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_e016538d-e87b-4f6c-82bc-eced9f4e5333.png?v=1793756867","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-6pk1540","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
