Bando USABando USA 6PK1390 OEM Quality Serpentine Belt

Awesome Belt, I try this belt, because is really grate quality manufactured and durability that OEM BELT, I PUT ONE IN 2018 AND I DRIVE MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES @ DAY PLUS WITH TEMPERATURE OVER 102° without problems, Recently change the last one ( can drive some time more with oldone ) in this month September 2022, and AGAIN I BUY THE SAME BELT to my Corolla 2009. Awesome belt.

It was the correct length and width for my 2000 Mercedes E320. No problems installing it. I've got a few miles on it and it seems to work fine.

The serpentine belt on our '08 Hyundai Sonata was getting old (the original) so I chose this belt from Bando as a replacement. It fit just fine and I like that it is made in the USA. I'm not necessarily against products made elsewhere but a LOT of reviewers like Bando and now so do I.As far as ease of replacement, well, it does take some time and patience to do the replacement (at least on a Sonata) but it can be done. I had to learn from YouTube how to do it but then I find it helpful for lots of things. Be sure you have the right tools to reach and move the tensioner pulley before you attempt to replace it. As far as longevity goes, I'll just have to wait and see but I'm confident it will perform just fine.

I wasn't quite sure on how this would works since it's so cheap, but it's been 💯 so far. Only 4 stars because I don't know the longevity yet. At the three month mark it's going great

like original

I did not personally install this but my top notch moonlighting mechanic did. He has been a Asian technician for well over 30 years. He would have let me know if it was subpar.

Good quality made in USA part for 1/3 OEM price

Returned too short

I used this part to replace the serpentine belt on my 2010 Ford Escape with a 4 cylinder, 2.5L engine. The old belt started to squeak and so far this has fixed the problem. Same part number as the FoMoCo belt that I replaced. Item number 6PK2185 stands for 6 ribs X 2185mm or 86" in length. Most videos on youtube.com show a tensioner wheel in the middle and to use the square head of a 3/8 ratchet to release the tension. In my case I had to use a 15mm socket on the tensioner which is located under the alternator. Once I found the tensioner it was an easy job that I did myself in no time. It would definitely help to have a second set of hands to hold the belt in place under the hood but not critical. Also, there is a diagram near the hood latch that shows how to install the belt around all the pulleys.

Belt started shredding in 10km with pieces of the belt flying in the engine compartment knocking my power steering hose off and spewing power steering fluid everywhere. Had to get a tow back to the garage and pay my mechanic AGAIN to install a new belt. Do yourself a favour and get a better quality belt. I would give this ZERO stars if I could.

Had the belt on for around 200km and strips of it began to come off. Took a closer look and realize that the nylon mesh that is suppose to re-enforce the back of the belt is missing. There was nothing holding the rubber together. I think that these cheap belts are a bit of a gamble. save yourself some headaches and spend the $15 of so more for a better belt.

I ended up buying a shorter belt and bypassing A/C compressor. my F150 is a 2007 and there is no bypass pulley built for that year. You just use a shorter belt. some of the older trucks have a pulley that mounts where A/C compressor that broke used to mount. Good looking belt but I never removed it from the sleeve. I have to give it five stars because it was as advertised, and a nice looking belt. I gave it away.

I had to check the BANDO site to confirm it fits my 05 Jetta TDI (BEW) engine.Amazon says it doesnt.Nice looking w/felt liner inner side.My old belt looked like cheap plastic and was cracking after 2 years.
