Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the belt routing and confirm the vehicle’s accessory drive configuration before installation. This part number is used across multiple platforms, including BMW M3, BMW M4, Audi S4, Audi S5, and Volvo XC60 applications, so matching the exact engine and accessory layout is important. For vehicles with start/stop systems or starter-generator setups, confirm the belt specification against the application requirements before ordering.
