Multi V-belts for driving ancillary components in cars and commercial vehicles.

Elastic multi V-belts for ancillary drives without a tensioning pulley. Elastic multi V-belts enable the non-positive power transmission of torque in belt drives without a tensioning pulley. Their task: To drive alternators, fans, water pumps, AC compressors and power steering systems in modern engines. The high quality of the Continental multi V-belts guarantees perfect performance.

Design and function An elastic multi V-belt consists essentially of: A + C) Synthetic rubber, sometimes fiber- reinforced B) Elastic polyester tension member Replacement interval: Elastic multi V-belts are subject to aging and wear. They therefore have to be regularly checked and replaced. The checking and replacement intervals are always specified by the vehicle manufacturer and must be complied with. Continental recommends changing the belt every 120,000 km if in doubt.

Tips: • Elastic multi V-belts must never be replaced by normal multi V-belts • Continental also offers practical sets with an Multi V-Belt Elast + Tool for many drives • Elastic multi V-belts can be re-used if they were not damaged during removal

• May only be used in vehicles factory-fitted with elastic belts • Can only be fitted using Continental special tool • Determine belt wear using Conti Belt Wear Tester (BWT).
