Today I installed a new Bando 6PK1190 belt, which I researched and looked to be the OEM replacement.

The car is my 2013 TL FWD with 89,000 miles, I am the original owner and drove it off the lot with 5 miles in March 2013. I have done oil changes at 5,000 intervals and completed all maintenance myself. I have never done a belt before and it took me 40 minutes.

When I removed the OEM serpentine belt I was impressed, there was not a single crack in the belt, whoever designed and manufactured this belt did a great job. It is evident the Bando belt isn’t the exact same belt but it fit perfectly.

Does anyone have any feedback or experience with the Bando 6PK1190?

If you order this serpentine belt from your dealer, you will get the same belt, but 6 times more expensive. https://www.acurapartswarehouse.com/...0-rja-j01.html . Bando is a Japanese manufacturer of belts for Acura https://www.bandogrp.com/eng/index.html

Should have noted I purchased it on Amazon for $12.

This is what I use, so far so good. No noise whatsoever.
