Detailed Description

Bando 6PK1725 is an accessory drive belt engineered for vehicles that rely on a multi-rib serpentine belt to drive key engine accessories. The belt uses strong tensile cords to handle higher horsepower loads without stretching, while the synthetic rubber rib compound supports wear resistance over time. Its precise metric sizing makes it a direct-fit option for applications such as the Ford Edge, Ford F-150, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln MKZ.

This part cross-references Gates K060680 and Dayco 5060680 for the same application. It also matches OE-style applications listed under Ford F2GZ 8620-A and Isuzu 8-90500-227-0 references. Use Bando 6PK1725 when replacing a worn belt on accessory drive, power steering, or water pump/alternator/A/C routing setups where the listed fitment applies.

Common Problems This Belt Can Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn accessory drive belt
• Belt slip caused by glazing, cracking, or loss of tension
• Visible rib wear or edge fraying on the existing belt
• Accessory drive noise during engine operation
• Incorrect belt length or rib count after a previous replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s belt routing, engine configuration, and OE reference before installation. Confirm the 6-rib layout and 1725 mm effective length against the existing belt or service information, especially on 2015-2024 Ford and Lincoln applications with accessory drive or power steering routing. Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing the new belt to help maintain proper tracking and quiet operation.
