M25-XP v belt cross reference

[patrscoe]

I need to replace my M25 XP V belt that runs the alternator and pump. The previous owner had a spare but with no part number and I have already used this belt as a replacement and I need a spare but I cannot seem to find a part number or cross reference to this belt.
Any help on a supplier and part number would be great.
Thanks
Patrick

There is a Gates heavy duty belt with the "top cog" design, but that went away with my former engine (M25XP) ... You might do some searching on the site for more belt information.

Thanks. I have located one.

How did the Duralast belt work?
Big difference in costs from a Universal belt.

Upgrading from V-belts to Serpentine

Another project completed, hopefully permanently..... Ever since upgrading the charging system on my E38 it was eating belts. The alternator is 125 amp cold and 107 amp hot rated. The progression went like this: -Install upgraded alternator and use 3/8" belt. Not good, belt bottoms in new...

Thanks Loren. That's what I was looking for.

Works fine for me , minimal dust seems to be wearing well , has lasted two seasons and still looks good
