{"product_id":"bando-6pk1815","title":"BANDO-6PK1815","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 6PK1815 is a 6-rib multi-ribbed drive belt with an effective length of 1815mm, built to transfer engine power smoothly to your vehicle's front-end accessories. 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: 1815mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate width: 21.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart reference: 6PK1815\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 (1815mm) 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\u003eMulti-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. Buying the correct part the first time saves on labour, avoids repeat jobs and gets the vehicle back to work sooner. Keeping a spare on the shelf is a sensible move for workshops, fleet operators and home mechanics who would rather not wait on parts. Workshops can order with confidence for customer vehicles, and private owners can tackle routine maintenance knowing the part is made to suit the job. Stocked in New Zealand and dispatched quickly, so your vehicle spends less time off the road. Store spare parts in a cool, dry place in their original packaging until they are needed. 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":57615317598280,"sku":"6PK1815","price":59.4,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_97d2c05e-be74-4b05-a856-d8c3c987bbfc.png?v=1793756732","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-6pk1815","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
