Gates 03-08 Hyundai Tiburon/01-06 Elantra / 04-09 Kia Spectra / 03-05 Mazda 6 Micro-V Belt

This Gates Micro-V belt is constructed with EPDM rubber, a material known for its resistance to heat and cracking, which is crucial for a component that spins constantly under the hood. It's designed to drive your vehicle's accessories like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. A worn or damaged belt can lead to a loss of power steering, dead battery, or a non-functional AC system, so keeping it in good shape is important.

The Micro-V design means it has multiple V-shaped ribs that grip the pulleys securely, reducing slippage and ensuring smooth operation for all the components it drives. This particular belt fits a variety of vehicles, including the Hyundai Elantra (2001-2006), Hyundai Tiburon (2003-2008), and Kia Spectra (2004-2009), among others. It's a direct replacement part, meaning it's made to install without modifications.

When you're replacing a serpentine belt, it's a good time to inspect the tensioner and any idler pulleys for signs of wear or noise. A failing tensioner can cause premature belt wear or noise, so checking these components at the same time can save you a future repair.
