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: 965mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate width: 21.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart reference: 6PK965\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. 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. Store spare parts in a cool, dry place in their original packaging until they are needed. 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. Fitting a new belt is a low-cost way to restore charging performance, steering assist and air conditioning output. Quality replacement parts like this help keep running costs predictable and reduce the chance of an unexpected roadside breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57615317991496,"sku":"6PK965","price":43.07,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_fe07ea27-2341-44a2-b768-d7d56d297afd.png?v=1793756748","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-6pk965","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
