V-Belts transfer the engine's rotation to the cooling fan, water pump, compressor and power steering pump.V-Belt Variations
Raw-Edge Belts
1) Plain: The basic configuration for Raw-Edge belts. Strong gripping power makes it suitable for passenger cars and small turcks.
2) Multi-Ply: Layers of bias cloth are added to the plain belt to make it last longer.
3) Cogged: A corrugated underside decreases energy loss caused by bending. Because even larger size belts are flexible, cogged V-belts are often used for diesel-powered vehicles such as trucks and buses

V-Ribbed Belts
These are thinner and have larger contact area than Raw-Edge belts, increaseing their flexibility and efficiency in transferring power. Suitable for small and high performance engines.

Materials
The bottom layer of a Genuine Toyota V-Belt is rubber-coated to prevent cracking. Heat-resistant Aramide Fiber is used for the top fabirc and tension member. Non-genuine belts may have a simple configuration or an inferior combination of marerials. They tend to stretch and wear out quickly.
Combination
A Genuine Toyota V-Belts is designed specifically for your vehicle. Since non-genuine V-belts are not designed for specific cars, they may not be a perfect fit for your engine. Your engine might not run as smoothly as it could, or worse-squeaks and uneven abrasion may occur, requiring early replacement of the belt.
