Hello.

I am planning on changing out the serpentine belt (accessory belt).

I can not find the dimensions of the belt (length, width, etc).
The OEM Ford part number (as far as I can see) is: F8CZ-6268-AA

However: That cost about $80. I do not want to fork out that much.
I skimmed other sites that sold it for half that ($45 after S&H I believe).

AutoZone sells belts for $10+. I'd like to know the actual dimensions.
If I can get it from AutoZone, and have it last 2 years: I'd be happy. It doesn't need to be a $200 part to last a life time (the car will die before then).

Thanks in advance, as usual. :)

DOHC correct?

Oblivion

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yes. The DOHC 2.0L Zetec engine. Not the SPI one.

Ah! Dang. I didn't even think of checking RockAuto. Thanks!
I tried AutoZone, and a lot of Googling around. It's how I stumbled upon the part number.

Time to go find the cheapest seller, with the highest quality now!

Thanks again!

EDIT:
Mildly confused. I can not find those dimensions for my self.
The part number (F8CZ-6268-AA) is not showing up on RockAuto's parts catalog.

What exactly did you search for to find that information?

It wasn't a Motorcraft belt that showed the dimensions.

Enter your info and under Belt Drive, The Dayco belt about half way down gives the dimensions.

Okay. I see it now. Thanks.

They aren't actually that expensive. Maybe the next day off I get: I will change it my self.
From everything I've read: You shouldn't need any special tools.

Although one site I believe, had mentioned raising the engine up with a floor jack so you can get to a disc easier (I can't remember if it said it's "required" or not).

Thanks again.
