Review on Gates K060841 84-5/8” Premium Micro-V Serpentine Belt - 6-Groove Efficiency Unleashed by Doug Taylor

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The Honda 3.0l had problems.

I bought this belt for a 2007 Honda Accord 3.0L. It looked the same as the OEM. After 2-3 months I started to hear a creaking in the engine area, of course I didn't expect it to be a belt since I just replaced it. I replaced the belt tensioner, thought I warned, the noise stayed. Thought it was the power steering pump as the noise was louder in cold weather, no. After the final spray of lube on the belt, the noise went away for a day or two, but eventually returned. Finally bought a Continental belt and the noise is finally gone. The belt works, but as it fits several cars, it can be a bit longer, which causes noise.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Unfashionable
