Continental® ContiTech™ K49203 - Accessory Drive Belt Kit

The engine belts, belt tensioners and idlers work together to drive such components as the power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, water pump, and alternator. The belt winds its way around these various components and propels them when the engine is running. While older vehicles used separate V-belts for each component, newer vehicles use a single serpentine belt to drive them all. Over time, any belt wears and tears, and excessive slippage or complete failure could mean serious damage to the engine or its systems. When it comes to replacement of your old serpentine belt, it is recommended that you also replace idlers and tensioners along with it to prevent uneven wear and the risk of failure down the road.

This kit includes all the OE-quality parts you need for a complete serpentine belt replacement, together in one box, which means you no longer need to waste time searching for individual components, battling the traffic, or standing in line. Built by the original equipment manufacturer, the belt(s), tensioner(s), and idler(s) included are OE-quality and correct in form, fit, and function. The belt(s) is(are) oil-resistant and temperature-stable from -22°F to 176°F (-30°C to 80°C). Every serpentine belt can easily handle higher engine revs, with reduced noise and cooler running temperatures thanks to its innovative lower profile design.

High performance construction features of the belt(s) also include polychloroprene rubber cover and body, polyester fiber tensile members, and a ribbed design. Plus with service life intervals of up to 150,000 miles, Continental serpentine belts are worry free. The tensioner(s) and idler(s) included ensure that the serpentine belt(s) provide(s) the correct tension, guidance and power transmission for excellent performance from the whole system.
