🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta v-belt for the MD2040 with the extra alternator, weighing 0.138 kg and listed for 16 applications across MD engines. The extra alternator is the detail that decides it — an MD2040 without that second machine takes a different belt.

🔌 Function

Carries drive from the crankshaft pulley to the alternator on installations fitted with an additional charging machine.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Squealing from the front of the engine on start-up or under load
  • One of the batteries not charging, or a charge warning light flickering
  • 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 engine has the extra alternator before ordering — belt 978482 is the MD2030 belt and 978460 covers TMD, TAMD and MD unmarked
  • Check the alignment of the additional pulley as well as the main drive when fitting
