Product Details

Continental 13465 is an Automotive V-Belt from Continental’s Automotive V-Belt product line, engineered for older belt-driven engine accessories where correct width and length are critical. The EPDM construction helps the belt handle engine bay heat and wear, while fiber reinforcement helps maintain tension over time. That combination supports steady drive performance in applications such as alternator to air pump, fan and alternator, fan and air pump, and water pump and power steering setups. This part cross-references Gates 7465 and Bosch 15465 for the same application.

Common Issues This Belt Can Address

• Squealing from a worn or glazed accessory drive belt
