What fan belt - "V" or a "serpentine"

[GeoffM Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close GeoffM]

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2003 Prado GXL with the above motor and was looking at a spare set of hoses and belts. Was told that the 4.0
only uses one belt .... is that true and if so, is it a "V" or a "serpentine" one?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Team Piggy ….. most impressed with the pic!

I had enquired thru a company on Ebay who I had gotten belts and hoses for my Hilux before and had been told that it was a single “V” belt. I thought it must have been a typo, so I questioned it and was assured it was a “V”. I felt it must be a “serpentine” one, but as I don’t pick mine up until next Friday, I just wanted to make sure.

Again, thanks for going to all that trouble of taking a pic.

This is a GREAT forum.

That sand means you've ben having fun.

Want I was going to ask you earlier (but didn't want to appear too nosey) is where in the hell did you get that PINK fan shaft?

Is that an option on the Grande??
