{"product_id":"bando-6pk1840","title":"BANDO-6PK1840","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 6PK1840 is a 6-rib multi-ribbed drive belt with an effective length of 1840mm, 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\u003eA durable rubber compound resists heat, oil and ozone, while high-strength tensile cords limit stretch. The precisely formed ribs mesh cleanly with the pulley grooves for quiet running and reliable power transfer under load.\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: 1840mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate width: 21.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart reference: 6PK1840\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 (1840mm) 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\u003eKeeping 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. Pairing this part with a general inspection of the surrounding components is good practice, as related parts often wear at a similar rate. Our team is happy to answer questions about specifications, compatibility or ordering in larger quantities for fleet and workshop use. Make sure the belt is routed correctly around every pulley before releasing the tensioner, and use a belt routing diagram if one is available under the bonnet. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57615319892040,"sku":"6PK1840","price":65.34,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_e179497c-7139-4834-8dd5-b7f6c822604e.png?v=1793756891","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-6pk1840","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
