I was trying to replace the belt on this car. My local parts place showed it to be a Gates 8PK1326 which is 52-7/8" or 1343mm long. This belt is too long and so it won't ever be tight.
I saw on some site that it should be 52.25" (1327) long. I cannot find one anywhere locally
The belt that was on it seem to be about 52" long. single sided serpentine. The part number is 2W93-8620 which if i read correctly crosses to a Gates 8PK1330HD which shows to be 1330mm long.
Can some one point me to the correct belt as this is a PITA to change and I do not want to do it again nor do I want to order something and wait for a week only to get the wrong part.

 

this is the one use for a 2002 XKR supercharger

its 51.5”

But I think yours is 51.24” (??)

PS / no matter where I buy my belts they always seem a little too long. Just barely not between the 2 close lines like they should be. I still get plenty of life from them and have never thrown one, so I shouldn’t complain.

 

On mine I fitted a GATES 8PK1305 - I don't know what that is in inches, lol.

 

From what i am learning or hope I am learning, a 4.0 XKR uses a smaller belt than the 4.2 series.
Still looking for the correct belt for a 4.2 SC. The belt on this car has a part number that crosses to a Gates number that no one can find on their computers. Only shows on the Gates website.
HELP!!!!

I didn't realise they changed the lengths - IIRC I got my information from one of Zray's posts as he has the same engine as mine.

One thing that is confusing me, you said the belt that was too long is:-
Gates 8PK1326 which is 52-7/8" or 1343mm

But surely the 1326 in the part number is the length in millimetres (not 1343 that you have written). 1326 is 21mm longer than mine (less than an inch). Maybe double check your figures as perhaps that is where the confusion comes from - at least I'm certainly confused by all these inches/millimetres numbering.

 

@dibbit I agree with the part number corresponding to the length THat is what I have always found.
Unfortunately, there is some kind of QC error going on i believe. I matched the part number on the belt to the part number on the sleeve and they matched.
The belt however is almost an inch longer and in a couple of cases, the length for a specific Gates parts number on their website give one length and the length on the sleeve is longer than what the website states.
I am actually measuring the belts to be sure. So far, I have returned 3 different belts because of this.
a 1325-1330mm belt would work if I can ever find one that is actually that length.

 

the one I use on my 2002 XKR is 51.5” (1,308.mm). Is that too short for you to try ??

@zray I wish it would fit. I just cannot get the tensioner pully to give it enough slack to get it on.
Thanks
