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: 1590mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate width: 21.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart reference: 6PK1590\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment and replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck that the rib count (6) and the effective length (1590mm) match your vehicle's specification. 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\u003eFitting 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. 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. 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. Pairing this part with a general inspection of the surrounding components is good practice, as related parts often wear at a similar rate. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57615318253640,"sku":"6PK1590","price":65.34,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_7b058ec1-c775-467a-9f8e-8726763192b1.png?v=1793756761","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-6pk1590","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
