Product Details

Gates K060623 is a standard automotive V-ribbed belt engineered for accessory drive systems that require OE-matched dimensions and construction. The 6-rib profile, EPDM compound, and polyester cord reinforcement support consistent belt tracking and proper engagement across the pulley system. This part cross-references Continental 4060625 for the same application.

Compatible With 1995-2000 Ford Contour, N/A; 1995-2000 Mercury Mystique, N/A; and 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, N/A. Search terms such as Ford Contour serpentine belt K060623, Mercury Mystique accessory drive belt, and Mercury Cougar OE Micro-V belt apply to this part number.

Common Issues This Belt Can Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn accessory drive belt
• Cracking, glazing, or rib wear on the existing serpentine belt
• Loss of proper belt tension due to age-related stretch
• Accessory drive noise caused by poor belt tracking
• Replacement needs after routine maintenance on the drive system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine and accessory configuration before ordering, since listed Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, and Mercury Cougar applications note non-compatibility with vehicles equipped with A/C. Confirm belt routing against the vehicle’s underhood diagram and inspect pulleys, tensioner operation, and idlers before installing the new belt. Match the part number K060623 to the required OE-style length and rib count before final installation.
