About this product
The FEBI BILSTEIN drive belt (18473) is a professional-grade replacement component engineered for long service life and reliable operation across all conditions your vehicle encounters. The part is built to the following specification: Length [mm]: 1950 mm, Weight [kg]: 0, 61 kg. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. This part supersedes original equipment references: 0090 050, 01-31950-SX, 0281 983, 0394 662 and 25 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function. FEBI BILSTEIN is a recognised supplier of automotive engine timing components to independent workshops and dealer networks across Europe. All parts are sourced from authorised distribution channels and carry full manufacturer traceability — you receive exactly the same component supplied to professional garages and dealer workshops. If fitment or specifications do not match your vehicle, our technical team can help identify the correct alternative — use the vehicle selector or contact us with your VIN for a guaranteed-fit recommendation. Replacing worn components on schedule preserves your vehicle's safety, reliability, and resale value — and aftermarket parts from established brands deliver OEM-equivalent performance at a fraction of the dealer price. Every part is dispatched from our UK warehouse with a 30-day money-back guarantee and free hassle-free returns.
drive belt buying guide
Why replace this part?
Drive belts transmit rotational power from the crankshaft to engine accessories including the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and water pump. On serpentine systems, a single belt drives all accessories; a failure leaves the vehicle without charging, cooling, or power steering simultaneously.
Signs you need a replacement
- Squealing noise, especially on cold start or when loads increase (A/C on)
- visible cracks, missing ribs, or glazing on the belt
- battery warning light
- power steering suddenly heavy
- belt debris visible in the engine bay
When to replace
Every 60,000–80,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. Always replace the tensioner and idler pulleys at the same time — worn pulleys rapidly destroy a new belt.
