978740 Volvo Construction V-BELT

This belt's job is pretty straightforward—it transfers power from the engine’s crankshaft to various accessories. Think of things like your alternator (charges the battery), power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and sometimes even the water pump. It's basically a link in the chain getting power where it needs to go. It’s a key part of your vehicle’s front engine accessory drive system. It wraps around pulleys on each of those components I mentioned, and as the engine spins, the belt turns those pulleys, making everything work. It’s a relatively simple system, but vital for keeping things running smoothly. You’ll notice if it starts to go bad, usually with some squealing sounds, especially when you first start the car or turn the steering wheel. Well, if this belt fails, those accessories stop working. No alternator means your battery won't charge, and you’ll eventually be stranded. No power steering makes steering really difficult. No AC? Pretty obvious. It's a relatively inexpensive part when you think about what it protects and the trouble you’d have if it broke. It acts like a shield for a lot of more expensive components. You can find a good replacement, along with diagrams, over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking. Regular checks and replacements are a smart preventative measure. Quality assurance: V-Belt (MPN VOE978740) comes with a 12-month warranty!
