🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta v-belt weighing 0.1 kg and listed for 23 applications across TAMD, TD, KAD and KAMD engines. No belt length is published against this number, so it has to be ordered by part number and checked against the belt coming off the engine rather than measured up from the listing.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: TAMD, TD, KAD, KAMD

⚙️ Key Features

• Fits 23 applications across TAMD, TD, KAD and KAMD engines
• 0.1 kg
• No published length — order by part number, not by measurement

🔌 Function

Carries drive from a crankshaft pulley to an engine-driven accessory such as the alternator or a circulation pump.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Squealing from the front of the engine on start-up or under load
• Charge warning light flickering, or the alternator falling behind
• Cracks across the back of the belt, or glazed and shiny flanks
• Black belt dust building up under the pulleys
• Ribs chunked out or a cord strand hanging loose

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the pulley grooves for wear and misalignment before fitting — a worn groove will chew a new belt in short order
• Re-check tension after the first few hours of running, as a new belt beds in and slackens
