Autohaus serpentine belt
 

Does anyone have any concerns or bad experiences with the serpentine belt offered by ********************************?

Item number : 6PK2115 Description: CRP-Contitech Serpentine Belt/Ribbed Drive Belt

Well I went ahead and ordered the one above, did I do the right thing? I have right over 40k miles right now and figured even if my current belt is alright having a spare readily available would be a good idea.

Concern: The price, AutoZone has a Goodyear Gatorback cheaper.
Just have to make sure they sell you the AC version of the belt.

But 40,000 seems a little early, I didn't do mine until 60.

why wouldn't you just go with an original belt. I didn't think 28 dollars is overly expensive

Cuz...AutoZone is 3 miles away. My local dealer is an idiot. And I have had enough OEM stuff on the car break to know that I don't aways want the OEM.

ok I have a belt installation question. When i was doing mine i cranked on the tensioning pulley a couple of times the wrong direction (counter clock wise). Does anyone see that as a problem?? Did i loosen anything while doing that?

Anyone... Help?

No one has answer... drive it and in 100 or 200 miles check it out. And get AAA just in case.

Good luck

no, you're fine - tt's self adjusting. Just make sure when you put the new belt on you get the ribs lined up w/ the grooves on the other pulleys to prevent any unnecessary wear. Also, keep your old belt as a spare in the car (mine's behind my spare tire) just in case you're stuck in the middle of no where. You'll have better luck finding a 15/16 or 24mm wrench in a pinch than you will a replacement belt ;) Mark on it the direction of travel as well.

Congrats on a job well done :)
