Hi to all, I am on maintenance of my GSX, and I don't have the car near of me to check this out.

I am about to finish the timming belt job, and I am looking for a replacement of my accesories belts. I am not sure about this, if it has 2 or 3 belts.


I think, one is for the Steering pump MD178430, and another one for the water pump and Alternator MD186126, but I am not sure where the AC hooks too. Does it have it's own belt or is it a different belt for steering pump?

I have found some webpage that states that I should buy the "4PK0940", but I cannot find it on a spanish retailer.

Please can anyone just clarify me where I am wrong?
 
P/S V belt that just goes around the W/P and P/S pulley, Alternator serpentine belt that goes around the W/P, Alt. and crank pulley, and A/C serpentine belt that goes around the A/C, crank pulley, and A/C tensioner. Three belts in total if you have A/C.
 
I've been looking at this site, and to a european spare parts dealer (Vente en ligne de pièces auto d'origine pas cher – Pièces détachées) and I am a bit lost

Where can I find the original size of the belts? Factory fitted belts.

Differences


PS Belt
Rockauto -> 15/32 * 26 7/8 or 1/2" * 26 7/8 (about 11.90mm x 682.62mm)
gatsautocat or oscaro, equivalent to MD178430 -> 13 x 675mm <-SHORTER

AC Belt
Rockauto -> 9/16" x 38" (about 12.29mm x 965.20mm)
I was using a gates 48363 (about 970mm long) <- LONGER

ALT + WP
Rockauto 9/16" x 39 3/4" (about 12.29mm x 1009.65mm)
Gatesautocat or oscaro, equivalent to MD186126 -> 14* 993 mm <- Shorter


I see too many differences, and my belts were in a really poor shape. I want to discard any defect coming from a non adequate belt.
 
Five or ten millimeters here and there are not going to spell disaster. I run all Gates belts on my car, and I assure you, the quality is more than adequate. The belts are not self tensioning or anything, so you can adjust them back and forth several millimeters.
