2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 V-Belts

Hutchinson stretch belts, are specifically designed for 2 to 4 point drives that do not require tensioning. Although these belts may look like standard poly rib belts, they are very different. These specially designed belts have self-tensioning capabilities required by specific original equipment (OE) drives designed for a “stretch” belt. Vehicles that are manufactured with “stretch” belts must replace those belts with “stretch” belts. These belts are not interchangeable with standard constructed belts of the same size. This belt construction incorporates a wear resistant EPDM rib material, along with a highly elastic EPDM cushion rubber that surrounds the polyamide tensile cord, thus providing the required adhesion and flexibility to maintain lasting performance. “Stretch” belts have unique installation instructions depending on the OE application. Installation may require a specialized tool for the application or a simple zip tie. Do not attempt to install by prying the belt on the pulleys. Dayco provides detailed instructions on the reverse side of the sleeve. Dismounting and reusing stretch belts is not recommended. A new belt should be installed anytime one is removed.

Product Features:

• Wear resistant EPDM rib material
• Highly elastic EPDM cushion rubber that surrounds the polyamide tensile cord
• Designed to elongate over the fixed pulley system
• Provides the proper tension maintenance

ContiTech Serpentine Belts come in a wide range of sizes and are designed to be oil-resistant and temperature-stable from -22F to 176F (-30C to 80C). ContiTech Serpentine Belts deliver 98% power efficiency. While a lower profile design easily handles higher engine revs, reducing noise and providing cooler running temperatures. High performance construction features include polychloroprene rubber cover and body, polyester fiber tensile members, and a ribbed belt design. Installation Note: The manufacturer recommends checking and/or replacing idler and tensioner bearings when replacing the serpentine belts
