Product Details

Accessory Drive Belt

This Accessory Drive Belt is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, crafted by the same manufacturer that supplied the original part for your vehicle. It offers the identical quality and precise fitment as the genuine part that came with your car, but at a more affordable price compared to purchasing directly from a dealership.

What Does an Accessory Drive Belt Do?

Commonly known as a serpentine belt, the accessory drive belt powers essential components in your car, including the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. The belt drives these systems by connecting them to the engine’s crankshaft via a series of pulleys.

To ensure optimal performance, inspect the belt regularly for signs of wear such as cracks, fraying, or glazing. Most manufacturers suggest replacing the belt at specific mileage intervals, typically from 80,000km. During maintenance, it’s also essential to check the belt tensioner and pulleys to maintain proper tension and alignment.
