Continental 15402 Accessory Drive Belt

Continental 15402 Accessory Drive Belt

Continental 15402 is an automotive V-belt built for accessory drive applications that demand stable tension and consistent grip. With a 0.47-inch top width and 40.20-inch length, it matches common OE-style sizing for a range of classic and late-model vehicles.

Fits applications such as 1991-1995 Volvo 940 alternator, 1987 Chevrolet Camaro power steering, and 1994-1995 Chrysler LeBaron air conditioning. This part cross-references Gates 7395 and Dayco 15395 for the same application.

Key Features

• 0.47-inch belt top width for proper pulley contact
• 40.20-inch belt length for specified accessory drive layouts
• EPDM compound for heat and abrasion resistance
• High-strength fiber reinforcement to control elongation
• Precision sidewalls and top width for traction and quieter operation
• Built to meet or exceed SAE J636 standards

Product Details

This Continental Automotive V-Belt is part of the Continental belt line for accessory drive systems, where dimensional accuracy and material stability matter. The EPDM construction helps the belt hold up under elevated underhood temperatures, while fiber reinforcement supports consistent belt length over time. The result is dependable operation for alternator, power steering, air conditioning, fan, water pump, and air pump drive positions across many Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Volvo, Chevrolet, GMC, Mercedes-Benz, and other applications.

Use Continental 15402 when replacing a worn belt on vehicles such as Volvo 740 and 760 models, Dodge D150 and W150 trucks, or Chevrolet and GMC C/K-series applications listed in the fitment data. The belt’s precise profile helps maintain pulley engagement and reduce belt noise in accessory drive service.

Common Problems This Belt Can Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn accessory drive belt
• Cracking, glazing, or visible wear on the belt surface
• Loss of belt tension from elongation over time
• Reduced accessory performance from slipping on the pulley
• Noise or vibration from an aging V-belt in service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt length, top width, and accessory position before installation. Confirm the exact engine accessory layout, since fitment varies by vehicle, option package, and drive position such as alternator, air conditioning, power steering, fan, or water pump. Inspect pulleys and tensioning components for wear or misalignment before installing the new belt. After installation, check belt tracking and recheck tension after initial run-in.

Quality Assurance

Continental specifies EPDM materials, fiber reinforcement, and SAE J636-level dimensional control for this belt. Those construction details support long service life, stable fit, and quiet operation in accessory drive applications.
