Detailed Description

Bando 7PK2035 is an accessory drive belt engineered for OE-style replacement on a wide range of Mercedes-Benz diesel and gasoline applications, including Sprinter 2500, Sprinter 3500, Sprinter 3500XD, GL350, ML350, E350, R350, S350, E320, GL320, ML320, R320, GLS350d, and GLE350d models listed in the fitment data. The belt uses precise metric sizing, ground rubber ribs, and durable EPDM construction to deliver consistent rib engagement and long-term wear resistance. Bando’s OE-focused design also includes a flexible backing and quiet-running construction to help reduce belt noise and slippage under load.

This part cross-references Gates K070801 and Dayco 5070801 for the same application. The Bando 7PK2035 is a direct-fit option for owners and technicians replacing a worn accessory drive belt on compatible Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, GL350, and ML350 platforms.

What This Belt Helps Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn accessory drive belt
• Cracking, glazing, or rib wear on the existing belt
• Belt slip under accessory load
• Noise from poor rib engagement or tracking issues
• Loss of reliable drive to alternator, power steering, or other belt-driven accessories

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the belt length, rib count, and top width before installation. This belt is listed for multiple Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and Sprinter 3500 configurations, including applications with OE numbers such as 001 993 38 96, 002 993 42 96, and 001 993 75 96, so confirm the exact vehicle build and accessory drive setup before ordering. For 2020 Sprinter 3500XD applications, the fitment notes specify without rear air conditioning; other listings note without auxiliary air conditioning or specific OE-number requirements. Inspect pulleys and tensioners for wear before installing the new belt.

Quality Assurance

Bando builds this belt using OE-oriented manufacturing standards, EPDM compounding, machine-cut ribs, and bidirectional cord construction for consistent fit and durability. The Rib Ace line is engineered to meet or exceed OE manufacturing specifications for accessory drive applications.
