What This Belt Helps Address

  • Squealing or chirping from a worn accessory drive belt
  • Cracking, glazing, or visible wear on the belt surface
  • Loss of proper drive to the alternator, A/C compressor, or power steering system
  • Incorrect belt length or rib count during replacement
  • Fitment issues on import vehicles requiring a metric serpentine belt

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rib count, belt length, and application notes before installation. Confirm whether your vehicle uses accessory drive, air conditioning and power steering, or a configuration with or without a viscous fan, since the listed fitment varies by engine and accessory layout. For best results, inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing Continental 6PK1878.
