Installation Notes

Disconnect the battery terminals to prevent accidental starting.
Locate the alternator and identify the tensioning bolt or mechanism.
Loosen the tensioner to create slack in the old belt.
Remove the old belt from the pulleys, noting its routing path.
Install the new belt, ensuring it is correctly seated in all pulley grooves.
Re-tension the belt according to the engine manufacturer’s specifications. Proper tension is typically 1/2 inch of deflection with firm thumb pressure.
Tighten all bolts and fasteners securely.
Reconnect the battery and run the engine to check for proper belt operation and alignment.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How can I confirm this belt fits my engine?

The most reliable method is to match your existing part number to one of the direct replacements listed (966906, 958306, etc.). Additionally, cross-reference your specific engine model and year in the compatibility table.

What are the signs of a failing drive belt?

Common signs include high-pitched squealing on startup or during operation, visible cracks or fractions on the belt, frayed edges, or a smooth, glazed appearance on the sides. Any of these symptoms warrant an inspection and likely replacement.

What does the note about "crankshaft pulley dia 150 mm" mean?

For certain models, like the Volvo Penta AQD2B and MD2B, different pulley sizes were used. This belt is specifically for versions of those engines equipped with a 150 mm diameter crankshaft pulley. Measuring your pulley is essential if you have one of these models.

How often should I replace my engine's drive belt?

There is no universal interval, as it depends on engine hours, operating conditions, and age. It is best practice to visually inspect the belt for wear during every routine service and consider proactive replacement every 3-5 years, regardless of appearance.

Is this an OEM Volvo Penta part?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility and batch-inspected for consistency.

What are the shipping speed and cost?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit is 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options will appear at checkout where available for your location.
