🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta v-belt 1100 mm long, weighing 0.129 kg and listed for four applications across TAD engines, superseding 20513673 and 967116. Belt 978710 is the 1075 mm version and is published only 2 g lighter, so the length is what decides which one you need.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

  • Volvo Penta TAD720VE
  • Volvo Penta TAD721VE
  • Volvo Penta TAD722VE
  • Volvo Penta TAD520VE
  • Engine Family: TAD

⚙️ Key Features

  • 1100 mm long
  • Fits four applications across TAD engines
  • 0.129 kg
  • Supersedes 20513673 and 967116
  • Only 2 g from the 1075 mm belt 978710
  • L=1100mm (Volvo assembly listing)

🔌 Function

Carries drive from the 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
  • Belt turned over in the groove or thrown off the pulley

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Order by the 1100 mm length — 25 mm of belt separates this from 978710 but only 2 g of published weight does
  • Check the pulley grooves for wear and misalignment while the belt is off
