🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta v-belt weighing 0.265 kg and listed for 10 applications across TWD, TID and TD engines, superseding part number 966846. The note against it reads Alt with a length of 2 x 1150 mm, so this covers a pair of 1150 mm belts running together rather than a single belt.

  • 0.265 kg
  • Supersedes 966846

🔌 Function

Carries drive from the crankshaft pulley to an engine-driven accessory as a pair of belts sharing the load.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Squealing from the front of the engine on start-up or under load
  • One belt visibly slacker or running deeper in its groove than the other
  • Cracks across the back of a belt, or glazed and shiny flanks
  • Black belt dust building up under the pulleys
  • Charge warning light flickering, or the alternator falling behind

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Renew both belts together — a new belt run against a worn one takes almost all the load and will not last
  • Belt 978548 is the other paired listing here at 2 x 1225 mm; check the length before ordering either
