# 973489 V-Belt | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta v-belt 975 mm long, weighing 0.109 kg and listed for 6 applications on TAD series engines. Belt 973541 is also published at 975 mm but is a different belt on TMD applications, so the length alone will not separate them — check the engine series and order by number.

## 🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

-   Volvo Penta TAD720VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD721VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD722VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD1631GE

-   **Engine Family:** TAD

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   975 mm long
-   0.109 kg
-   6 applications on TAD series engines
-   Same published length as 973541, which covers TMD applications
-   L=975mm (Volvo assembly listing)

## 🔌 Function

Carries drive from the crankshaft pulley to an auxiliary such as the alternator or coolant pump, the wedge shape gripping the pulley grooves.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Squealing on start-up or when load comes on
-   Glazed, shiny belt flanks
-   Cracks across the underside of the belt
-   Rubber chunks missing or the edges fraying
-   Charging output or coolant temperature drifting as the belt slips

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Do not order on the 975 mm length alone, as 973541 shares it — confirm the engine series first
-   Recheck the tension after the first few hours of running, as a new belt beds in and slackens
