6.3 Correct Belts
Author Last Post
Thank you all! 

I was mistaken. I finally got the right belts. I went to Pelican as directed and TADA! The right belts. Many thanks!
Hi.

I'm using 2x Bosch 13x1125 (1 987 947 659) for AC (OEM A0069974992).

For alternator I tried Gates 6216MC AVX10 x 900La as GATES claims it's interchangeable with OEM A0069970292. Don't believe it! It was too short (alternator fan was hitting mount)! Now I'm using CONTITECH 10 X 910 as it's the same that I removed from the car. The belt is almost too short (as it's new) but I managed to fit it. With all the knowledge I would go for GATES 6272MC AVX10x913La instead of CONTITECH (cheaper and 3mm longer for easier fit).

Suspension compressor should use OEM A0069975292 and I believe that I'm using 2x GATES 6489EXL  but any AVX13 x 1475La belt should fit.

PS: I just found that belts I use are hard to source in US so here are links for Pelican and PG

AC - https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/13X1125.htm or https://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?i=1&ssq=16129-08005091

PS+Suspension compressor - https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/13X1475.htm (they say it's for AC too, but it's not correct) or https://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?i=1&ssq=13.0+x+1475

Alternator - https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/10X910.htm or https://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?i=1&ssq=0069970292
Alternator - alternative (a bit longer) https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/10X913.htm

Thank you Will! 

I ordered these belts from Pelican and found the Air pump belts to be way too short. 

They also don't show the alternator belt. 

My car is actually a 69 300 sel 6.3. 

Can anyone verify what belts they have purchased and fit successfully?


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 

Team, 
I have looked and found some info about belts. BUT.... I can not find the right belts for the suspension compressor. 

I am partial to Continental belts. Can anyone provide the correct belt part numbers for the AC, Alternator and the suspension pump? Prefer Continental. At this point any sold manufacturer will do. 

Thank you!
