Product Details

Continental’s Automotive V-Belt line focuses on accurate dimensions and durable construction for accessory drive systems. The EPDM rubber compound helps the belt hold up under heat and wear, while fiber reinforcement helps maintain tension and reduce stretch over time. The result is a belt designed for stable performance in fan, power steering, idler, and air conditioning drives where consistent engagement matters.

This part cross-references Dayco AX46 and Gates 9480HD for the same application.
