# 966970 V-Belt Set | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta v-belt set for classified engines, weighing 0.204 kg and listed for 3 applications across the AQD, THAMD and MD series. It supersedes 958355, which earlier catalogues carried as a single v-belt, so the current listing is a set where the number it replaces was not.

## 🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

-   Volvo Penta AQD70CL
-   Volvo Penta THAMD70C
-   Volvo Penta MD70C

-   **Engine Family:** AQD, THAMD, MD

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Supplied as a set
-   For classified engines
-   0.204 kg
-   Listed for 3 applications across the AQD, THAMD and MD series
-   Supersedes 958355, catalogued earlier as a single v-belt

## 🔌 Function

Transmits drive from the crankshaft pulley to the engine's belt-driven auxiliaries, supplied as a matched set so the belts wear together.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Squealing under load once one belt in the set starts to slip
-   Uneven tension between the belts on the same drive
-   Cracking across an inner face or fraying along an edge
-   Belt dust collecting between the pulley grooves

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   This is the classified engine listing, so confirm the survey requirement before substituting anything else
-   Because 958355 was a single belt and this is a set, expect a different quantity in the box than an old parts list suggests
