Bando USA 7PK1646 OEM Quality Serpentine Belt

Great product, but watch a few crv installation you tube videos before you try, the tricks help a lot, be patient you can do it. Only thing I did different than videos was put belt all the way on all pulleys except top most so when I hold tensioner with one hand I could work belt on pulley with other hand.

This was installed on a 2006 Honda CRV. Nice beefy belt. Installing any belt on this 2.4L engine is not easy. Tips: Remove the passenger side engine mount (easy to do). Support the engine with a jack. Thread the new belt on except for the PS pump. Loosen the power steering pump but don't remove the bolts. Just make it a little loose. Now take tension off the belt tensioner (14 or 15 mm socket/wrench, pull forward). Slide the belt on. Put tension back on the belt, tighten the PS bolts.

I'm assuming the longevity is like the one it replaced which had 191k miles on it... Time will tell.

OEM grade, great price.

No issues at all and half the price.

I needed a replacement serpentine belt for our '98 Dodge Dakota (it was still on the original with just over 50K miles) and since a LOT of reviewers liked Bando, I decided to get one. The belt fit with no problems (it's pretty easy to replace the belt on this vehicle). I like the fact that it is made in the USA too.While only time will tell if the belt will last for a long time, I have confidence that it will do fine.

Works well so far

Don't look at other brands just buy Bando!

This belt was a little shorter than the old belt, but my old belt was probably all super loosey goosey and stretched out. It was very worn. The trickiest part was loosening my tensioner enough to slip this new belt on, but that wasn't any fault of the belt at all. I would buy this item again and it fixed the squealing sound problem the old belt was causing.

Did an AC Pulley bypass on my 2008, BMW, E93, N54. So far, so good. I'll update I'd there are issues. Belt splines are less rubbery than OEM and more 'fuzzy'. Not sure why. Perhaps it let's a miniscule slip if in a manual and slamming a gear. Could be a good thing in some co texts. Not in others. I can't say what is better. Tangibly, it performs like OE so far.

My belt broke after 8000km i lost 3 grooves and lot of smokes coming from the hoodHonda CRV 2007 exact fit, installed my licensed mechanicianTo all the people that bought the product, you need to listen to your belt. If it does a weird sound after a while, it might be loose or prone to break, need to change belt ASAP

oh yes! the belt for the 04 crv. it must be a great belt. it took 2 1/2 hours of beating, pushing, poking, hammering, prying to get it on and i had all the right tools. a 1/4'' more here and there, a line rerouted 1'' lower and it would have been only a hour. my 93 f150 5.0lt. takes 12 minutes.? any how it still working. dmac.

It took less than 20min. to install. In addition to the 14mm wrench and a cheat bar, I would recommend that you get a 2-3 feet long stick ready since your arm won't reach through the small gap to put the belt in place underneath the 2 lower wheels and I eventually used the stick to get the belt in place.
