Review on ACDelco 7K852 Professional V Ribbed Serpentine by Donald Gore

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Multi-V Belt on Belt

Belt is an exact match to the original 2009 Honda Civic LX sedan belt. It is extremely difficult to replace manually without professional tools or knowledge. Medium to large hands won't have room to work without removing half the engine compartment on the passenger side. It looks a lot simpler, but you quickly realize that it's two people's job to just hold the belt in place. Make sure you map out the path of the old belt before removing it as there are a lot of pulleys that need rewrapping. Let's see how long the belts last and I'm hoping for at least another 100,000 miles. Almost worth paying an auto repair shop to replace in terms of manpower.

Pros
  • Works and tolerates misalignment in aftermarket belt drive systems (ABDS) much greater than other Multi-V belts
Cons
  • Very Expensive
