Can someone provide me with the correct dimensions for the serpentine belt for Jaguar S type, V6 petrol, model year 2006. Here, in my home country, there is a shortage of Jaguar parts and I cant find an original one. Is there some alternative to the original? Thanks in advance.

 

Do you have an auto parts store in your area? If I recall the part number is the same as a Lincoln LS V6

 

The problem is that here, in Eastern Europe, Lincoln is not exactly a popular brand also.I was wondering if the S type serpentine belt could be replaced by some Ford part?

 

Go to some of the online aftermarket parts sellers (rockauto.com is one example) and search for serpentine belts for your particular vehicle. I'm sure there are European online aftermarket parts sellers as well. You just need to confirm what particular belts are an exact-fit for your vehicle....

 

You do know that Ford makes Lincoln right?
So the Lincoln part is a Ford part.

Here ya go.

Dayco part # 6PK2730.

Gates and Bosch use the same number.

It is an "industry standard" part numbering system, so any half decent Auto Parts Mob should be able to supply IT, or convert it to their numbers.

Dayco - power transmission and cooling system components

 

So it is 2730mm effective length(107.5 inches),and 6 ribs (0.84inches wide--measured across the flat).

 

For the OP's V6 or your V8?

I think the V8 4.0 & 4.2 are different, at least.

 

As inferred by interpreting the part number supplied by
Grant for his V6.

All of the major belt manufacturers use a standard
nomenclature that actually describes the belt to
someone who knows the system. Much like plugs,
except that each plug vendor has their own.

 

Thanks, guys. I will get to it next week. The length is indeed 2730mm and it is 6 ribs. My local Ford dealer sells parts for Ford and Volvo only. According to them no Ford or Volvo uses a 2730mm serpentine belt.
