# 978489 V-Belt Set | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta v-belt set, 875 mm long, weighing 0.132 kg and listed for four applications across TAD engines. The 775 mm set 978467 covers the same four applications and is published 11 g heavier despite being the shorter set, so length is the only thing that should decide the order.

## 🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

-   Volvo Penta TAD720VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD721VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD722VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD520VE

-   **Engine Family:** TAD

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   875 mm long
-   Supplied as a set, not as a single belt
-   Fits four applications across TAD engines
-   0.132 kg
-   L=875mm (Volvo assembly listing)

## 🔌 Function

Drives an accessory off the crankshaft, supplied as a set so the belts running together are all renewed at the same time.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Squealing from the front of the engine on start-up or under load
-   One belt visibly slacker or running deeper in its groove than its neighbour
-   Cracks across the back of a belt, or glazed and shiny flanks
-   Black belt dust building up under the pulleys
-   Charge warning light flickering, or the alternator falling behind

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Order by the 875 mm length — the published weights of the two TAD sets run the opposite way to their lengths
-   Do not fit a new belt alongside an old one from the set; the fresh belt takes almost all the load
