I have an 2005 Acura TL and I'm not sure which belt is oem? whats the length on it? what part number do you guys use for gates? or any other brand that you guys get at your local parts dealer. I got one (which the guy at the counter said was the one) and it came out to be too small..i'm just trying to get the original, oem length

I've got a Bando 6PK2135 in a box in the garage that I'm going to put on soon. Under $20 on Amazon. I don't think Bando is OE for the TL but it was OE for our CR-V. The one I put on the CR-V is fine so I went with same brand for t

i used gates belt + tensioner and it's making noise on cold or humid starts and it's only been 3 years. OEM all the way. BANDO is OEM for the TL 07-08. All other years are Mitsubishi OEM

According to Acura parts, Mitsuboshi ($50/$38) is OEM equipment through 2007, then for what I consider cost saving, they switched to Bando ($45/$34).
Rock Auto comparison:
Gates K060841 ($19)
Dayco 5060840 ($20)
Bando 6PK2135 ($14)

What belt and number did you receive?
Make certain it's routed correctly and seated properly on the various pulleys.

I've used the Gates K060841 both times. No issues. $23.10 shipped from Amazon. FYI, the Bando is $17.49 shipped from Amazon. Hard to beat either Amazon or Rock Auto for OTD pricing

Good discussion here starting at post# 2013:

So can I use an 07 mitsuboshi belt in my 08? The tensioner in the 07/08 are at least the same.
