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: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective length: 1140mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate width: 24.9mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart reference: 7PK1140\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 (7) and the effective length (1140mm) 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\u003eWorkshops 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. Quality replacement parts like this help keep running costs predictable and reduce the chance of an unexpected roadside breakdown. 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. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57615319367752,"sku":"7PK1140","price":54.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BANDO_68232bac-384b-48ce-a807-1ae0fa02aae6.png?v=1793756862","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bando-7pk1140","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
