The importance of a quality replacement No-one knows more about belts than Gates. So, with so much relying on the accessory belt drive system, ensure your customers have safe and trouble-free motoring with the best belt in the industry. High under-bonnet temperatures plus constant flexing ultimately mean that accessory belts need to be replaced. In order to help your customers avoid unexpected part failure, check the accessory belt drive system regularly and replace the multi-ribbed belt with a Micro-V Horizon if it is more than four years old or after 100,000 kilometres of service. 7.
