Detailed Description

Bando 4PK1300 is an accessory drive belt engineered for direct replacement use in belt routing systems that drive components such as the alternator and water pump. The belt’s metric sizing and rib geometry support accurate OE-style fitment, while the synthetic rubber construction is formulated for heat resistance, oil resistance, and long-term wear performance. This part number is commonly used on Ford Focus and Ford EcoSport applications, as well as Nissan Altima models with electric assist.

This part cross-references Gates K040512 and Dayco 5040512 for the same application.
