Gates 05-12 Acura RL/04-08 TL / 03-12 Honda Accord / 12 Mercedes ML350 Micro-V Belt

This Gates Micro-V belt is built with a EPDM rubber compound that stays flexible in a wide range of temperatures, from -40°F to over 180°F. This is important because your accessory belt needs to keep spinning smoothly whether it's a cold morning start or a hot day stuck in traffic. It drives essential components like your alternator, power steering pump, and A/C compressor, so a reliable belt means your car's systems keep working as they should.

Gates designs these belts with a multi-ribbed profile, similar to the original equipment, to ensure it grips the pulleys tightly. This design helps prevent slippage, which can lead to reduced performance from your accessories or even a squealing noise. It's a well-built replacement part that fits a variety of popular vehicles, including many Honda Accords, Odysseys, and Acura TL models, ensuring your car's accessories get the consistent power they need.

When it's time to replace your serpentine belt, this Gates Micro-V belt is a solid option. It's designed to match the original specifications, making installation straightforward for a mechanic. Keeping an eye on your belt for cracks or wear is always a good idea, and replacing it proactively can save you from unexpected breakdowns.
