About this product
Sourced from MEC-DIESEL, this drive belt (291370) combines precision engineering with durable materials to meet the demands of everyday driving and extended service intervals. This part supersedes original equipment references: 13A0584C, 13A0610C, 13AV0600HD, 13AV0613 and 27 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function. MEC-DIESEL 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 with tracked delivery and a 14-day money-back guarantee with 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.
