Gates Automotive XL V Belt, 10A0545

This is the Gates Automotive XL V Belt.

This Gates automotive V-belt is a classical-section wrapped V-belt for engine accessory drives, not a Micro-V (serpentine) belt. It runs a single accessory (alternator, water pump, power-steering pump or air-conditioning compressor) off its own dedicated groove, the way engine belts were built before serpentine multi-rib drives became standard, items 8507-0545YB to 8507-1090YW2.

Where this product is used

• Single-belt engine accessory drives (alternator, water pump, power-steering pump, air-conditioning compressor) on vehicles built before serpentine (Micro-V) drives became standard
• Older passenger vehicles, 4WDs and light commercial vehicles still running individual V-belts per accessory
• OE-equivalent replacement matched by measured length and cross-section rather than by vehicle model alone

Features

• Fibre-loaded rubber compound adds flexibility and lateral stability within the pulley
• Form-ground construction ensures precise width and sidewall dimensions for a proper pulley fit
• Thermally active tensile cords give maintenance-free performance when correctly tensioned
• Resists oil, heat, ozone, weather and ageing to extend service life
• Meets or exceeds SAE J636C specification

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Select by measured belt length and cross-section, or cross-reference by the Gates or OE part number if you have one, these codes read as a length/profile reference (e.g. 8701-7375 or 7384) rather than the ribs+section+length format used on Micro-V belts. See our automotive Micro-V range.
