but why is 2120mm also shown as fitting?

 

[Frank_38]

ok, I looked wrong - so 2120mm after all

[Grrrrrr]

Should be written on the belt, although might be eligible by now.

 

[Frank_38]

Good morning everyone,

Can someone please help me with the belt.
I can't turn the motor at the moment. I would like to order the belt.
The only thing I found is on the photo.
Why are there so many numbers?
I made a mistake - I have this setup:

Since I have the button in the car "air conditioning" I assume that the selection with air conditioning is correct but then there is again a distinction between air conditioning and without, hmm. Thanks!!!

 

[Mark Piercy]

You can cut the old belt off and measure it end to end. Then you'll know the size

 

[Frank_38]

Unfortunately that's not possible. I still have to move the car and order the belt beforehand. I have to do everything in one day.

 

[FEI]

My car:
1999
Bosch ecu
4.6 with AC

7PK2322

So its a 2322mm long belt

 

[Frank_38]

Thank you! that would also make sense for me.
But there are only “Dayco” who still supply it? Who is Dayco? Is that quality?

 

[FEI]

Yeah dayco is pretty good, ive never pesonally had issues or heard of anyone having issues with them.

 

[MrGorsky]

Had Dayco on mine for years, been fine. They're OEM suppliers for Ferrari apparently.... I'm not sure if that makes you feel better or worse!

 

[Frank_38]

...I have another question here: can I use this oil for topping up - I still have it at home or which one would be recommended:
Shell Shell Helix HX6 10W40

 

[MrGorsky]

I run mine on 10w40.

That what they recommend in the book unless you’re doing arctic driving.

 

[Frank_38]

super.
but there is still a distinction between semi-synthetic and synthetic - is that relevant?

 

[MrGorsky]

Fully synthetic performs better at temperature, last longer, and is more expensive. The old Rover V8 doesn’t need the performance of fully synthetic oils, but it can’t hurt it I doubt. So long as the grade is in spec it can’t do any harm.

 

[Datatek]

super.

Not good to mix different types, stick to semi synthetic or full synthetic but for a small top up it's not going to hurt. I now use 10W40.

 

[Mark Piercy]

I've used shell helix for the last 8yr. 10w40.

 

[Frank_38]

I've used shell helix for the last 8yr. 10w40.

ok, so the full synthetic?
I'd better change the oil.

 

[Frank_38]

LIQUI MOLY MoS2 10W-40 -> semi synthetic - ohhh too many possibilities

or Mobil Super 2000 X1 10W-40

 

[MrGorsky]

I buy 20 litre drums from Smith and Allen. Always served me well, and I’ve always got some to top up my leak!

Semi synthetic is fine as long as it meets the spec in the owners handbook. These days due to budgetary constraints, I use supermarket 10W40 semi synthetic or I buy in 25 litre drums from the agricultural merchant, which ever is lower cost.
