Detailed Description

This serpentine belt is designed for accessory drive systems that require a 6-rib Micro-V profile and OE-style dimensions. The EPDM construction helps the belt handle everyday engine-bay heat and belt routing demands, while the polyester cord supports consistent belt stability. If you are replacing a worn belt on a Jaguar XF, Jaguar XJ, Audi A6 Quattro, or Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, the K060966 is a fitment-specific option to verify against your vehicle’s exact engine and accessory setup.

This part cross-references Continental 6K2460 and Dayco 5060968 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the belt length, rib count, and routing before installation.
