Detailed Description

Continental 6PK2245 is a Metric Line serpentine belt designed around the dimensions and groove count required by specific import accessory drive layouts. The belt’s 6-rib design helps maintain proper contact across the pulley system, while the 88.39-inch length supports the routing used on confirmed applications. This part number is listed for a wide range of vehicles, including 2009-2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner, 2003-2009 Lexus GX470, and 2002-2006 Nissan Altima. This part cross-references Bando 6PK2245 for the same application.

The Metric Line is Continental’s import-focused belt family for European and Asian vehicles. It is intended for accessory drive service where correct belt length, rib count, and profile are critical to maintaining proper drive operation. The Continental 6PK2245 also appears in fitment for Lexus LS430, Toyota Tundra, and Porsche 911 applications listed in the catalog data.

What This Belt Helps Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn accessory drive belt
• Cracking, glazing, or rib wear on the existing serpentine belt
• Incorrect belt length after belt service or replacement
• Loss of proper accessory drive engagement on import vehicles
• Belt replacement needs on Mazda MX-5 Miata, Toyota 4Runner, and Lexus GX470 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the belt routing, rib count, and measured length against the vehicle’s accessory drive layout before installation. Confirm whether the application is equipped with air conditioning or other listed configuration notes, since fitment varies by vehicle and engine setup. For best results, inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing a new belt.
