Product Details

Gates develops serpentine belt drive components with OE manufacturers and applies that engineering to aftermarket replacement belts. For applications that require aramid tensile cord, this construction helps maintain the same belt behavior specified by the original equipment design, supporting smooth operation and reduced noise and vibration in the accessory drive system. The K060873A uses a K-section profile and is built to match the OE specification for the listed Ford vehicles.

This part cross-references Continental 6K2215 and Dayco A060875 for the same application.

Common Problems This Belt Can Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn serpentine belt
• Cracking, glazing, or fraying on the existing belt
• Incorrect belt length or rib profile after prior replacement
• Accessory drive noise caused by belt wear or loss of tension stability
• Reduced belt performance in Ford Focus and Ford Transit Connect applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rib count, effective length, and OE application before installation. Inspect pulleys, tensioner operation, and accessory drive alignment at the same time, since worn components can shorten belt life. Confirm the vehicle build details for 2011 Ford Transit Connect models, including Jan. 17 and newer coverage noted in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a recognized OE-focused supplier in automotive belt drive systems, and this Premium OE Micro-V Belt is built to OE Exact standards for the listed applications. The aramid cord construction and EPDM belt material reflect the original equipment-style design used for these Ford fitments.
