Continental 17494 Automotive V-Belt

Continental 17494 is an accessory drive V-belt built for steady power transfer in belt-driven engine accessories. With a 0.53-inch top width and 49.40-inch length, it is sized for specific Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Subaru, and Mercury applications that require accurate belt fitment and consistent drive performance.

Key Features

  • EPDM compound for high heat resistance and abrasion resistance
  • High-strength fiber reinforcement helps control belt elongation
  • Precise top width and sidewall design for strong grip and quiet operation
  • Built to meet or exceed SAE J636 standards
  • Accessory drive belt for power steering, fan, alternator, vacuum pump, and air conditioning applications

Product Details

This Continental Automotive V-Belt line is engineered for dependable accessory drive performance in older V-belt systems. The 17494 part number is a direct-fit style belt for applications such as the 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier power steering belt, 2001-2004 Nissan Xterra power steering belt, and select Ford E-Series, F-Series, Toyota Pickup, Toyota Land Cruiser, Subaru Standard, and Mercury Capri applications. The belt’s EPDM construction helps resist heat-related wear, while the reinforced design supports stable tension and long service life. This part cross-references Gates 9492M and FEL-PRO 70078 for the same application.

What This Belt Helps Address

  • Squealing or slipping accessory drive belt noise
  • Loss of power steering assist from belt wear or stretch
  • Reduced fan, alternator, or vacuum pump drive performance
  • Cracking, glazing, or abrasion on an aging V-belt
  • Incorrect belt length or width during replacement service

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify belt length and top width against the vehicle application before installation.
  • Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and accessory alignment for wear or damage.
  • Replace a worn belt when cracking, fraying, glazing, or noise is present.
  • Confirm the correct position listed for your vehicle, including power steering, vacuum pump, fan and idler, or air conditioning service.
  • For fitment examples, this part fits 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier, power steering; 2001-2004 Nissan Xterra, power steering; and 1978-1979 Ford F-150, power steering.

Quality Assurance

Continental designs this belt with heat-resistant EPDM materials, fiber reinforcement, and SAE J636-based dimensional control to support consistent accessory drive operation and quiet running in service.
