Will this alternator V-belt fit my Vanagon? I have a 1988, but I'm not sure if it matters.

Yes, this Gates alternator and water pump V-belt is designed to fit all 1983-1991 Vanagons, including your 1988 model. It works with both 2WD and 4WD, and both automatic and manual transmissions. Just make sure your Vanagon is within those model years!

Should I replace all my Vanagon belts at once? Seems like a hassle and more expensive.

Yes, it's a great idea! Your Vanagon only has three belts, and replacing them all at the same time ensures everything runs smoothly. We actually recommend it, which is why we offer a V-Belt Bundle with an A/C belt to save you money compared to buying them separately. Plus, you won't have to worry about replacing another belt anytime soon.

Is this V-belt good quality? I don't want to get stranded on the road!

Absolutely! This is a high-quality Gates brand belt, known for its durability and reliability. Our customers consistently rate this belt with 5 stars, with comments specifically mentioning the excellent quality and perfect fit, including fit for Westfalia Campers and Weekenders, meaning you can trust that it will keep your Vanagon running reliably.

Good quality, but worth carrying a spare.

Good quality, correct fit

Gotta love not having to dig around for the EXACT right size at the chain auto parts stores.

Just what I needed

Great product, fast shipping!

Dayco belt better than the Continental

This was the first time I have received a Dayco belt from you, and it seems a bit beefier than the usual Continental ones you usually stock. Time will tell!

great belt

it belts well

Ordered as backup

I ordered a set of belts to carry around as a back up. We use our van for road trips and this takes us to some remote places. I don't want a belt to snap and be stuck. I haven't installed them yet. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I am unsure of the durability since I haven't installed them yet.
