The single serpentine belt that drives everything on the front of the engine off the crankshaft — alternator, water-pump drive, power steering and air conditioning. When it glazes, cracks or frays it announces itself with a squeal on a cold start or under load, and if it lets go you lose charging, power steering and cooling drive at once, so it is not a part to run to failure. It comes off with the timing cover during a belt service, so replace it then rather than paying for the access twice. The number on this page is the current Mitsubishi one; the catalogue also lists older numbers it replaces, and the parts counter can resolve any of them. The number and the fitment come from a Montero specialist's catalogue and an independent parts catalogue, cited below — good evidence for what a part number is and what it fits, and not factory literature, so read every figure on this page as the catalogue's claim rather than as a service-manual specification.

Brand	Their number	Verdict	What we know
Bando	7PK2415	Same maker as the OEM part	The specialist page states that Bando makes the original drive belt for the Gen 3 Montero and sells it under its own label as size 7PK2415 — a seven-rib belt in the length this engine takes. Filed as OEM supplier because it is the same belt in Bando's own box; ask the counter for it by that size if the Mitsubishi number is slow to source.
