Bando USA 7PK2150 OEM Quality Serpentine Belt

I installed this to replace the original that had 86k miles, no cracks or rot, but figured preventative maintenance, right? This (see attached pics) is what happened after approx 1500 miles, the majority being highway. I don't know if I received a defective one or not, but the same issue has happened to other reviewers. The sad thing is it's made in the USA. So now I bought the best belt that Autozone offers and will have to wait and see how that holds up.

This belt was a perfect fit on our 2005 Toyota Camry 2.4 L. We installed this belt in conjunction with replacing the water pump on this vehicle with 173,000 miles on it. It is the second replacement belt for this vehicle. I do not believe there is an easy way to replace this belt. The first time I replaced this belt ( at about 75000 miles) it took over 2 hours. Using three people we replaced the belt this time in about 45 minutes. You tube helps but the design (space and using a 1/2 drive with 19 mm socket and pipe for leverage to compress the tensioner ) limits options for where you can fit the belt on the final pulley.

Easy to install and no squeaks!! Fit perfect on my 2012 Toyota Camry 2.5! Bando quality is why Toyota uses them.

I own a 2006 Honda Civic, EX 1.8L. The belt is very well made and fits perfectly if you follow the new routing. It is longer than the original belt as Honda released a service order and advised to use the new routing using a longer belt. I have attached a photo that I hope will help you change the belt with now problem.

I went cheap and it cost me and my daughter. This belt failed (I am an older guy been around cars for decades and never had a belt fail on me) while my daughter was driving her car. It chewed up wires to a sensor which caused the car to start shaking badly- almost lost control- scared her. Cost $160 to repair and a few hours of my daughter's time. DO NOT TAKE THE CHANCE ON THIS BELT!!!

This serpentine belt, 7PK1755, will not fit my 2007 Honda CR-V. It is the correct length, but due to its fibrous and shallow groove design, it won't settle into the deep groves of the pulleys and thus its effective length becomes too short. There are at least two different groove designs on serpentine belts. My CR-V requires the other design which has distinct, deep V-shaped grooves and ridges. I installed a Continental 4070690 belt, which has the correct groove design. It fits properly and is easy to install. My photo shows a comparison of this Bando belt's shallow grooves on the right and the Continental's deep grooves on the left.

This is just as good as the OEM belt but at a much better price.

My dealer simply wanted too much money for a replacement belt. This belt fits-up just as well and performs exactly the same as the OEM part from the dealer. It's a very much more economical purchase from my perspective. Durability is the same as OEM.

This belt was a little shorter than the old belt, but my old belt was probably all super loosey goosey and stretched out. It was very worn. The trickiest part was loosening my tensioner enough to slip this new belt on, but that wasn't any fault of the belt at all. I would buy this item again and it fixed the squealing sound problem the old belt was causing.

Did an AC Pulley bypass on my 2008, BMW, E93, N54. So far, so good. I'll update I'd there are issues. Belt splines are less rubbery than OEM and more 'fuzzy'. Not sure why. Perhaps it let's a miniscule slip if in a manual and slamming a gear. Could be a good thing in some co texts. Not in others. I can't say what is better. Tangibly, it performs like OE so far.

My belt broke after 8000km i lost 3 grooves and lot of smokes coming from the hoodHonda CRV 2007 exact fit, installed my licensed mechanicianTo all the people that bought the product, you need to listen to your belt. If it does a weird sound after a while, it might be loose or prone to break, need to change belt ASAP

oh yes! the belt for the 04 crv. it must be a great belt. it took 2 1/2 hours of beating, pushing, poking, hammering, prying to get it on and i had all the right tools. a 1/4'' more here and there, a line rerouted 1'' lower and it would have been only a hour. my 93 f150 5.0lt. takes 12 minutes.? any how it still working. dmac.

It took less than 20min. to install. In addition to the 14mm wrench and a cheat bar, I would recommend that you get a 2-3 feet long stick ready since your arm won't reach through the small gap to put the belt in place underneath the 2 lower wheels and I eventually used the stick to get the belt in place.
