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: 985mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate width: 21.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart reference: 6PK985\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\u003eBuying 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. 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. Store spare parts in a cool, dry place in their original packaging until they are needed. 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. Every part is checked against its part number before dispatch, so what arrives matches what you ordered. 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":57615318220872,"sku":"6PK985","price":43.07,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_170aa1d5-b60a-4f7f-a166-f4581f415303.png?v=1793756759","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-6pk985","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
