CDS serpentine size

[scotty747]

I have the belt most people say I need K061145. It seems too short. I know some have two pulleys and the belt may be a different one. Does anyone know if the one with 2 pulleys uses a different belt. Thanks, Scott

How short are you talking? Any pics? Which model of CDS?

Got it fixed. Now I'm on to the plugs and wires.

I'm having the same issue.. last time I replaced it Napa matched it up for me, but I didn't write it down and now they don't have one like it apparently. Any help from the brain trust here would be amazing. I've now got 2 new non fitting belts.

Take the old one in and have them match it. They are all slightly different depend on year and engine size. That's what my mechanic does.

In my case I had the correct part number but the Napa gates belt was actually made short! In an almost unbelievable stroke of ill fortune so was the continental belt I ordered. They both measured as 114 inches, but the spec was 115+ inches. Hopefully this helps someone else who is trying to get their belt replaced. The guy at Napa was I think as shocked as I was when we figured it out!

Thank you for the helpful suggestion. I did that and they had difficulty finding a match by measurement. Previously I was able to get a match that way, this time it was different. The old timer at Napa was a trooper!
I really never considered that the brand new belt was actually made or at least labeled wrong! Finally occurred to me to measure it. Asked him to pull another one and measured them both. Had him confirm my measurement, he sent the (brand new) old one back as defective.
