Product Line Details

Continental Automotive V-Belt products are engineered for consistent fit and dependable accessory drive performance. This belt line focuses on dimensional accuracy, heat resistance, and controlled stretch so the belt maintains contact and runs smoothly in demanding engine bay conditions.

Detailed Description

Continental 17361 is an OE-style accessory drive belt for vehicles that use a traditional V-belt system. The EPDM construction helps resist heat and wear, while fiber reinforcement limits elongation for more stable tension retention. That combination supports quieter operation and consistent drive performance in applications such as the 1990-1993 Ford Festiva air conditioning to idler setup, the 1990-1994 Mazda Protege alternator and water pump drive, and the 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder power steering drive. This part cross-references Gates 9360 for the same application.

• Addresses belt wear caused by heat, abrasion, and age in V-belt systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt routing, pulley alignment, and the required accessory position before installation. Match the 0.53-inch top width and 36.10-inch length to the vehicle application, then inspect related pulleys and tensioning components for wear that could shorten belt life. For fitment searches, this part is commonly used on vehicles such as the Mazda Miata, Nissan Pathfinder, and Ford Escort in the positions listed above.
