Gates 9245/13A0620 Automotive XL V-Belt

This Gates automotive V-belt is a classical-section wrapped V-belt for engine accessory drives — HC 50 section — 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.

Where this product is used

This belt suits older-style, single-groove automotive accessory drives — not industrial or agricultural equipment. Typical uses include:

• 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

Key specifications

Selecting 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. If you’re not sure which belt your engine uses, contact AIMS with the old belt or its part number and we’ll confirm the right match. Looking for a modern serpentine accessory belt instead?
