🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta v-belt 1050 mm long, for the fan mounted on a separate fan bracket, listed against the TAD 721 VE and weighing 0.075 kg with four published applications. It consolidates four earlier numbers — 20460454, 22348968, 3838319 and 966693 — so any of those on an older parts list is now covered by this one.

🔌 Function

Drives the cooling fan from the crankshaft pulley where the fan sits on its own separate bracket rather than on the engine front.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Squealing from the fan drive on start-up or under load
  • Coolant temperature climbing under load as the fan slips
  • Cracks across the back of the belt, or glazed and shiny flanks
  • Black belt dust building up under the pulleys
  • Belt turned over in the groove or thrown off the pulley

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Confirm the fan is on a separate bracket before ordering — that mounting is what this belt is listed for
  • A slipping fan belt shows up as overheating under load rather than at idle, so check belt condition before condemning the thermostat
  • Four earlier numbers now come through as this one belt, so a single order covers whichever your list quotes
