To ensure that you get the correct drive belt, it is best to check the size and shape of the one currently installed so you can compare with the listed belts. Some important information for selecting the correct belt is the type of belt needed; V-ribbed/ grooved, amount of and type of driven units, pulley compatibility and date limitation of the unit. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some drive belts will only be suitable for particular models of certain years.
