Bando 6PK930 OEM Quality Serpentine Belt

Beware of the product description it is misleading. "Bando USA manufactures belts in Bowling Green, Kentucky". My belt was made in Indonesia not Kentucky. I believe this needs to be removed so people like me who want a USA made belt actually get one and not one made overseas.

I bought this belt for my 2006 Mercedes E350, I drove the car three times after, on the last time the belt shredded on the freeway, first I lost power steering and the car systems started to die bit by bit, it took me almost 7 minutes to get off the freeway, I towed my car to a mechanic shop, replaced the belt, tensioner, main battery and the backup battery still needs a replacement, I ended up paying almost $700 for parts and labor, please see the attached photos.Not happy at all with this product.

This drive belt was a perfect fit for my 2007 Acura TL Type-S, which didn't really surprise me given that Bando has made the OEM belts for Honda/Acura in the past. You simply cannot beat the sub-$20 price tag on this belt when Acura will charge you more than double, and other, lower-quality belts still cost more.Tip: If you don't have a serpentine belt tensioner tool, don't waste your money on one. All you need is a 14mm socket and a piece of pipe (thick PVC or steel, both under $10 at any home store). Put it on the tensioner pulley (see attached image) and push towards the firewall. 10 minutes is all you need to swap the belts.

6PK1300 does not Mazda 5 2.3LIt does not fit any Madza 2.3 L.The correct size is the 1320 or 52" belt. Amazon part size check failed again. This is Amazon being too big to care about part fitment as Bando's own website calls for the 6PK1320. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND AMAZON HAS TAKEN NO ACTION TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

i like bando belts, they last a long time.The original belt on my honda was a bando and lasted past 130,000 miles. this one fit a 2004 ram 1500 4.7Ljust like it it is supposed to and went on without a problem. the key to any belt replacement is to physically clean every pully very good inside every groove with a brush and degreaser then rinse with water then dry with compressed air to remove the rubber,oil, antifreeze etc that builds up then inspect every pulley for bad bearings and proper alignment plus proper tension after installation. chemical contamination kills belts from leaks, repairs and the environment.

I ordered it as a backup but the old belt was showing its age so I used it and saved the old one. im a ASE certified mechanic and I never herd a noise like it before! my first thought was the A/C clutch that I just installed ( the ac clutch has a bearing with it.) tried a little belt dressing ( witch I haven't used in years and NEVER on a serpentine belt ) I did not try to return because I ordered it last year. I should have know better than to order a belt with a Co.name like BANDO! should be called Band-Aid because it only good for a patch I am getting a GOODYEAR BELT. Ill use this as a backup again,

I don't have a ton of experience with different brands of belts, but this one seemed very well made. Was the correct size I needed and went on with out any problems.*EDIT* So I replaced this thing about a year ago, and it already started to fray at several spots along the edges. I checked my pulleys and I didn't find any burrs or anything that would cause it to fray. Sad to say, you get what you pay for with this one.

I bought and installed this serpentine belt with new tensioner just 12 months ago. All was well, until three days ago on a fast moving freeway, the car began to stall. Alternator warning lights came on. I managed to pull up on the right shoulder. The car stalled completely and refused to start. Opened the hood, all seemed ok, except that belt was slackened and not tight enough to drive the alternator. Tow truck took forever to arrive, and I was finally towed away three hours later. For three hours, I was exposed on a very busy freeway with cars traveling at 80 miles per hour only a few feet from me.This is my overall cost of buying this cheap serpentine belt: 1. This belt: $19.36 2. Towing cost: $130.00 3. Taxi to store: $7.35 4. Install Labor: $75.00 ================== Total Cost: $237.71 ==================I have not included cost of new belt at $32.99, plus install labor of new belt at $75.00. Also not included the value of my time sitting on the expressway for three hours. I am kinda grateful I was not hit by another vehicle. Also lucky I did not have to replace tensioner pulley.Conclusion: Never ever buy cheap serpentine belt. You will be stranded and your overall cost may be up to ten times the cost of superior quality belt.**UPDATE:I called Amazon and they honored their 1yr warranty. Refund issued.

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.

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.

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.

By Jong Kim on July 13, 2018I ordered this item for my vehicle on a 2003 Toyota Highlander 3.0L V6 AWD. I took it out on July 10th 2018 and I checked out original serpentine belt but new item was different size, wrong size for my vehicle. I was too frustrated to say anything else. this wasn't compatible product on a 2003 Toyota Highlander 3.0L V6 AWD. I'd like to get a refund on this item please.

This belt is extremely well built and has given me zero noise or other issues and the price was quite fair and was delivered quickly. I would easily suggest a one needing a new belt for there vehicle to take a look at the Bando brand belts on Amazon!

So far so good! This belt fits my 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5 l non-turbo perfectly. The tension indication mark on the belt tensioner sits perfectly within the required range. (See attached photos) The Bando 6PK1650 belt runs smoothly just like the original belt and will hopefully give the same type of service as the original. The original belt was replaced at 190 750 km and still looked perfect without any sign of failure.As a matter of interest, before receiving the correct 6PK 1650 belt, I first tried another belt which ended with ...651 in the part number instead of ...650. Even though the ...651 part number belt looked as though it was a fit, it is slightly longer than the ...650 part number belt and the tension mark on the belt tensioner will align just outside of the specified range with the ...651 belt installed.

Seems thicker and better quality than the Gates belt that i bought for the Envoy last time. This matches the Factory belt that was on the vehicle originally - same name. Seems to be a highrt quality than Gates. That surprized me alot!

Belt just broke after 5 minutes of driving. Dont' waste your money. Just replaced with OEM Honda belt and it works great. Seller should stop selling this poor quality belt.

For my 2007 Jeep Patriot, I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my tensioner, I just can't put it on my own.My two neighbors helped me, one hold the tensioner, two mount it on with screwdrivers as levers.

Excellent product and price!Got rid of the incessant belt squeal that my almost new other major brand belt made.These belts run quiet like the Goodyear/Continental gatorback but at less money.Fit my 95 Jeep YJ 4.0 perfect!

I like this product because it turn my broken Rav 4 to alive. However the belt is seems little short compared to my old belt I got. It require little extra work to put in place.

The belt does exactly what it is designed to do. It got rid of that dreadful squeek from my old belt.However, this one is lined with some form of felt or something along those lines. All the pulleys are metal, and I know for a fact my power steering is slightly heavier because of less grip. Not bad, just heavier. The belt before was rubber on the inside.

Fast ship. As described. However was old stock and not soft. Rubber had hardened and squealed. 2 weeks and had to replace already for noise to go away. Replacement from another vendor was different quality and solved the problem.

This is pretty crap, I replaced my belt to fix a squealing belt and this one still squealed and I was scared to over tighten it. I went with a gatorback type belt as a replacement which only costed me around $23 from part source.

Doesn’t fit exactly perfect for my 02 RSX base. Factory belt has 7 ribs opposed to this one which only has 6, but so far no problems and the belt seems to be holding up.
