Bando USA 6PK2135 OEM Quality Serpentine Belt

It's periodic preventive maintenance time again for our 2013 Pilot, and the original belt is showing some discoloration on the back while the ribs are starting to check a bit. Car is now over a dozen years old but only about 60k miles, so the cracking starting to show in the ribs is almost certainly age-related rather than due to wear from mileage. Regardless, the Bando belt easily replaces the original one after all its loyal and reliable service. This one is identical in shape and size to that original, and installed easily in minutes using just a long flex-handle ratchet and socket. Looks very pretty compared to the original one that had faded to a dirty brown on the back. Most importantly, no worries about issues with the rib cracking, at least not for another dozen-plus years at the rate we use the car. More -- This belt generally gets changed as part of the timing belt, water pump, tensioners and guide rollers replacement exercise every 105K miles or so per Honda's recommendation. I replaced the timing belt a year or so ago out of concern for the age only, but left the original accessory drive belt in place as it looked fine. At service and inspection time this year though, the rib cracking got my attention, so the replacement belt was ordered and installed. I'm a very strong proponent of PM (Preventive or Proactive Maintenance), since it saves us from a lot of the surprise events that seem to strand people and/or cause much larger damage. For me anyway, PM like this keeps me from being that guy stuck on the side of the desert highway with steam pouring out. Or worse, with warped heads and head gaskets failed. Or worse-worse, if it's mrs dr bob instead of me. I hate getting stranded by stooopid stuff, especially when the insurance is so cheap, and the fix so easy and convenient in my own garage. Vs. along the side of that desert highway. I can't speak to longevity yet. Bando has been an OEM supplier to several Japanese car and equipment manufacturers for decades, so I have no worries at this point. If signs of failure start to show up at annual services time, I'll be sure to report back with those results. For now though, the fit and apparent quality are sufficient to recommend this belt for this service.

The belt fit very well and so far, after installation, there’s been no issues. The belt thickness is slightly thinner than the OEM belt but the new belt appears well made.

Perfect fit for my 2010 Honda Odyssey. My old belt was ruined after power steering fluid leaked onto it from a failed pressure hose. This Bando belt fit perfectly, runs quietly, and has great grip. No squealing, slipping, or noise after installation. Would buy again

Worked perfectly in my 2006 Honda Accord Coupe V6

Good quality, didnt fit. This was a 6 rib belt. Mine is a 7 rib

Perfect fit for 2015 Honda Pilot Touring.

I bought this because I suspected that the squeaking from my engine was caused by either the power steering pulley or the serpentine belt. I replaced the serpentine belt. This one from bando USA and the squeak is gone. Thank you, bando USA!

Bought this for my 2107 Subaru Legacy. Been holding up very well after a year's use.

cheap price, its been 5000 miles, so far so good

My Pilot 2007 starting to make whistling noise repeatedly. Bought this and replace, all the noise gone. Good quality as well.

Works perfect on toyota corolla 2003-2006
