Accessory Belt Replacement

Recommended Posts

My alternator/fan belt has started squealing at startup. A few months ago, I installed a smaller pulley on my alternator, and the idler pulley is adjusted all the way down. I suppose the belt has stretched a little now, and I can't tighten it anymore.

 

Does anyone know the length of the alternator/fan belt? I'd like to try to find another one that's about 1-2cm shorter.

The OE belt is a 6PK1065 metric size. The next smallest is a 6PK1055 metric size. That would be 10 mm smaller. The competitive part numbers are as follows:

 

Gates/Carquest=K060415

 

Dayco=5060415

 

Goodyear (Gatorback-highly recommended BTW)= 4060415

 

NAPA (Gates belt in sleeve)=25060415

 

The next size down from that would be a 6PK1040 metric size (25 mm smaller). That would be a 4060410 in Goodyear. You get the idea....

 

The Goodyear Gatorback belt, if you can find it, is the best belt on the market to prevent squeals.
