Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rib count, effective length, and accessory routing before installation. This belt is listed for multiple positions, including Main Drive, Alternator and Power Steering, Air Conditioning, Alternator and Idler, Air Conditioning, Alternator and Tensioner, Fan and Alternator, and Alternator, Power Steering and Air Conditioning. Confirm the vehicle’s belt path and any configuration notes, such as the 2000 Ford Focus without air conditioning or the 2018-2019 Mini Cooper Clubman without Automatic Temperature Control, before ordering.

Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing the new belt. A worn pulley or weak tensioner can shorten belt life and affect tracking.
