salut les amis...je prends le risque de poser une question stupide encore une fois. quelqu'un a un avis sur les ceintures en kevlar ? je trouve le prix "abordable" ..alors pourquoi pas

Huh ?

I expressed myself badly? the translation is not clear? I ask for feedback on the Kevlar serpentine

I don't recall 100%, but I believe I read a thread on the s55 forum of a guy who went through two in short order, and got in a fight with them about covering repair costs. I'll see if I can find it

 

[wheela]

Found it! Correction, it was just 1 belt.

BEWARE!!! ECS KEVLAR BELT FAILURE!!!

Obviously that's the s55 belt, but I'd assume the construction is similar.

sincerely.... thank you very much . that answers my question perfectly. indeed the design is the same. i will stay on a continental/oem serpentine. Thanks again

Agreed, Conti is fine.

Phew that's scary! I don't see any reason to upgrade, the Conti belts last forever. I ended up getting a Bando on my previous car as I needed one immediately and that's what O'reilly had. It worked fine for years too.

Conti belt is the way to go. My belt was starting to get soft and such with oil leaks and what not, so I changed it before it could get damaged and sucked into the crank hub lol.

I did the crank seal guard and a few other things at the same time.

I got mine from Rockauto
