-   Listed for 57 applications across six engine series
-   Supersedes 958359

## 🔌 Function

Transmits drive from the crankshaft pulley to the engine's belt-driven auxiliaries.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Squealing or chirping from the front of the engine, worst on start-up
-   Batteries not keeping up as the alternator drive slips
-   Inner face cracked across, or the flanks polished and shiny
-   Rubber dust building up around the pulleys
-   Belt needing retensioning between services

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the pulley grooves and the tensioner for free movement at the same time, as a worn groove or a stiff adjuster will wear a new belt quickly
-   Keep the old belt aboard as a spare once the new one has bedded in
