Product Details

Gates Premium OE Dual Sided Micro-V Belt DK060718 is engineered as an OE replacement for accessory drive systems that route power on both sides of the belt. The EPDM construction and polyester cord help maintain consistent tracking and load handling across small pulleys, while the dual-sided rib profile supports the belt routing used on select BMW 740i, BMW 740Li, BMW X6, Porsche 911, and Volvo S60, V70, S80, XC70, and XC90 applications. This part cross-references Continental 6DK1825 for the same application.

• Squealing or slipping accessory drive belts
• Cracking, glazing, or wear on an aging serpentine belt
