What Makes Bando Rib Ace Serpentine Belts Different?
Bando’s Rib Ace product line is designed to deliver reliable power transmission while addressing common accessory belt problems such as noise, slipping and premature wear.
Proprietary Run Quiet Technology
Bando’s Run Quiet technology is designed to improve belt-to-pulley engagement and minimize unwanted noise.
A properly fitted belt with consistent pulley contact can help reduce chirping and squealing associated with accessory drive operation.
However, persistent belt noise can also indicate pulley misalignment, a worn tensioner or damaged bearings.
High-Strength EPDM Rubber
EPDM rubber is commonly used in modern serpentine belts because of its resistance to heat and aging.
The Bando 6PK2135 uses proprietary EPDM compounding intended to maintain flexibility and durability throughout normal operating conditions.
Reinforced Tensile Cords
The belt’s tensile cords help maintain dimensional stability as engine speed and accessory loads change.
Proper cord reinforcement helps minimize excessive belt elongation and supports reliable operation.
Precision-Ground Ribs
The belt’s machine-finished ribs are designed for accurate contact with compatible pulley grooves.
Correct rib geometry helps support consistent power transmission and proper belt tracking.
What Does the Bando 6PK2135 Serpentine Belt Drive?
Depending on the Acura engine and accessory configuration, the serpentine belt may operate:
- Alternator
- Power steering pump
- Air conditioning compressor
- Other belt-driven engine accessories
The exact routing varies by vehicle and engine.
The serpentine belt is separate from the engine’s timing belt or timing chain. It does not control camshaft timing.
Signs Your Acura Serpentine Belt Needs Replacement
Common symptoms include:
- Squealing or chirping during engine startup
- Cracked or damaged belt ribs
- Frayed belt edges
- Glazed belt surfaces
- Excessive belt vibration
- Belt slipping

These symptoms can also result from pulley bearing problems, tensioner wear or accessory misalignment.

How to Replace the Bando 6PK2135 Serpentine Belt

For additional installation information, see our guide to replacing a serpentine belt safely.
Should You Replace the Belt Tensioner?
A worn belt tensioner can cause slipping, vibration, premature belt wear and recurring noise.
Before installing the Bando 6PK2135, inspect the tensioner for:
- Weak spring tension
- Excessive movement
- Noisy bearings
- Damaged pulley surfaces
- Misalignment
- Binding or rough rotation
Replacing a worn tensioner during the same service can help prevent repeated repairs.
A functioning tensioner does not automatically require replacement whenever the belt is changed.
Bando Serpentine Belt Maintenance Tips
To help extend belt service life:
- Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
- Inspect the belt regularly for visible damage.
- Keep engine oil and other contaminants away from the belt.
- Check pulley alignment and bearing condition.
- Replace worn tensioners and damaged pulleys.
- Use the correct belt dimensions and routing.
Proper maintenance helps reduce unexpected accessory drive failures and repair expenses.
