How to check your belt size
First, look at the back of your old belt: you will find the size printed there. For example, in 6PK2238, 6 is the number of ribs, PK is the rib profile and 2238 is the length in millimetres. However, sizes a few millimetres apart (such as 6PK2238 and 6PK2243) are different belts. So match the number exactly, or ask us.

Fitting tips
Replace the belt at the interval in your service book. Also replace it sooner if it is cracked, glazed, missing ribs or squeals on start-up. At the same time, check the tensioner and idler pulleys, because a worn tensioner bearing wears out a new belt quickly. Before you remove the old belt, photograph the routing. Finally, make sure every rib sits in its pulley groove before you start the engine.
