{"product_id":"serpentine-belt-43","title":"Serpentine Belt","description":"The Continental serpentine belt, part number 11288650740, is a direct replacement for your vehicle's original accessory belt. This belt is crucial for driving key engine components such as the water pump, alternator, power steering pump, and A\/C compressor. Over time, serpentine belts can crack, fray, or stretch, leading to reduced performance or failure, often accompanied by squealing noises from the engine bay. Replacing a worn belt is recommended to prevent accessory malfunction and ensure smooth operation.\n\nManufactured in Spain, this belt is a genuine quality part, ensuring it meets the stringent standards set by the original equipment manufacturer. It is designed for a long and reliable service life, typically lasting between 50,000 and 80,000 miles, though inspection of related pulleys and tensioners during replacement is advised. It is recommended to inspect and potentially replace pulleys and tensioners concurrently with the belt.\n\nThis serpentine belt is compatible with a wide range of BMW models, including various configurations of the 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, 8 Series, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, and Z4. However, it is important to note that this belt is not for cars with a 48v charging system or those with an Energy Recovery System (S1CEA). Always use the vehicle selector tool to confirm exact fitment for your specific vehicle.","brand":"Continental","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687458468152,"sku":"11288650740","price":23.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/660686589.jpg?v=1784884321","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/serpentine-belt-43","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
