OE-quality 11.5×685 power steering V-belt, part number 037 145 271 E. Helps maintain dependable steering pump operation.
$10.95
The 037145271E Power Steering V-Belt transfers power from the crankshaft pulley to the power steering pump on applicable Volkswagen and Audi vehicles. Its 11.5 x 685 mm profile is designed to fit the correct pulley grooves and maintain dependable accessory operation.
A properly fitted belt allows the power steering pump to provide consistent hydraulic assistance. Consequently, replacing a worn belt helps maintain lighter steering effort and reduces the risk of an unexpected accessory-system failure.
The accessory belt system drives important vehicle components from engine rotation. If the belt slips, it may not transfer sufficient power to the power steering pump. Therefore, the steering wheel can become difficult to turn, particularly at low speeds.
Heat, age, and friction gradually degrade the belt material. Furthermore, an old belt can stretch, glaze, or crack. Replacing it at the first sign of wear helps prevent squealing noises and avoids loss of power steering assistance.
Inspect the belt if you notice any of these common symptoms:
Squealing or chirping noises from the engine accessory area.
A shiny or glazed belt underside that reduces pulley grip.
Cracks across the belt back caused by heat and age.
Fraying along the belt edges.
Heavy steering effort, especially when parking or turning slowly.
A loose belt or visible belt vibration while the engine idles.
Power steering assistance that comes and goes.
