Bando 6PK1780 Accessory Drive Belt

Accessory Drive Belt for Kia and Hyundai

The Bando 6PK1780 accessory drive belt is built for broad coverage across Kia and Hyundai applications with precise metric sizing and OE-style fit. It uses a polyester cord structure, EPDM compounding, and a 6-rib profile to handle accessory drive loads with consistent grip and reduced noise.

Key Features

• 6-rib accessory drive belt with an effective length of 1780.0 mm
• Polyester cord construction for strength under load
• Flexible, oil- and heat-resistant backing for extended service life
• Ground rubber ribs and EPDM compound for wear resistance
• Machine-cut ribs and precise metric sizing for accurate fit
• Run Quiet technology for improved grip and quieter operation

Detailed Description

Bando 6PK1780 is an accessory drive belt engineered for vehicles that rely on a single serpentine belt to drive multiple accessories. The belt’s polyester tensile cords help resist stretch, while the synthetic rubber rib compound and soft backing are intended to improve durability and reduce noise. This part cross-references Dayco 5060701 and Gates K060700 for the same application. It is a direct-fit option for many Kia Soul, Kia Forte, and Hyundai Elantra applications where the specified rib count and length match the original belt requirements.

What It Helps Solve

• Squealing or slipping accessory drive belt noise
• Cracking, glazing, or wear on an aging belt
• Belt stretch that can affect accessory drive performance
• Fitment issues caused by incorrect rib count or length
• Reduced belt life from heat and oil exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rib count, effective length, and OE reference before installation. Fitment varies by engine and build date on some Kia and Hyundai models, including Kia Soul, Kia Forte, and Hyundai Elantra applications. Confirm routing and OE number details where listed in the fitment notes, especially on vehicles with accessory drive, alternator and air conditioning, or water pump routing differences.

Quality Assurance

Bando Rib Ace technology is positioned as an OE-level belt line with manufacturing specifications that exceed standard OE requirements. The belt uses bidirectional cord construction to help eliminate tracking and maintain stable operation under load.
