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.

⚙️ 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
