CRP Automotive, a source of OE-quality replacement and service parts, is the first to market with ContiTech replacement belts for applications that use start/stop technology. The new belts, ContiTech SILENT GRIP and ContiTech TOUGH GRIP, were originally developed by ContiTech to solve specific problems on major OE applications. The aftermarket replacement belts are made by ContiTech to the same OE specifications and are now available from the CRP Automotive NAFTA distribution system.
Reduces System Noise
To help minimize the belt drive noise from start/stop systems, ContiTech SILENT GRIP belts feature an extra layer of rubber with a Teflon® coating and textile fabric on the rib side of the belt. The belts are available for use on popular model year and engine applications for BMW ACTIVEHYBRID 5 and 7; Volvo S60, C30, C70, S40, V50, and S60; Audi A3; and Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, and Passat.
Withstands Harsh Environment
To offset the harsh environments created by today’s engines and withstand the demanding loads placed on drive belts by start/stop technology, ContiTech TOUGH GRIP belts feature an extra layer of cotton on top of the rubber on the rib side of the belt. The belts are available for popular model year and engine applications on Chrysler 200, 300, and Town & Country Van; the Dodge Durango, Charger, Challenger, Avenger, Grand Caravan, and Journey; the Jeep Grand Cherokee; the Ram C/V; and the Volkswagen Routan.
ContiTech belts and belt kits are backed by the CRP Automotive standard of excellence. For more information, visit www.contibelts.com.
