My car, a 2006 mk 7 2.4 petrol and it needs a new serpentine belt, on CoxMotorParts the part that's needed is a code 38920RBBE03 (and costs £65 + delivery).
That cost being a bit steep I thought I'd Google an alternative using that part number and Google (and all the car sites) say it's a 7PK1751 that's needed.
So, I ordered a Bando (which apparently are who makes the Honda belt anyway).
It arrived today - I took the old part off (no ID numbers on it), tried to put this new one on and trouble is it's a lot longer......
Went indoors to measure both and the Bando is around 1755mm (outer). (I guess it's supposed to be 1751mm), whilst the old belt I took off measures a lot less - around 1690mm (outer).
Car looks standard, no modifications that I can see at all.
Any ideas?
(I called Cox and they ***ured me their part will fit, however, I'm also certain that my research shows that an 38920RBBE03 will give me a belt that's 1751mm long and so I don't believe it will - anyways, their belt will take over a week to get to me, so I have some time to decide).
Please, any ideas as I was really hoping this would be a 15 minute job, but it's turning out to be a 3 week one.
Thanks.
