Welcome to the ApplianPar Engine Belts category, your go-to source for high-performance replacement belts designed specifically for popular Toyota and Honda models. Featuring two essential kits—the Alternator Air Conditioning Belt and Power Steering Serpentine Belt Kit for Toyota Avalon 1995-2010, and the Alternator Air Conditioning and Power Steering Drive Belt Kit for Honda CR-V 1997-2001 Set of 3—these products deliver the reliability you need to keep your engine running smoothly.

Featured ApplianPar Engine Belt Kits
Our category highlights two tailored kits, each optimized for specific vehicles to simplify your shopping and installation.
Toyota Avalon 1995-2010 Serpentine Belt Kit
This comprehensive kit includes belts for the alternator, air conditioning, and power steering systems. Ideal for Avalon's V6 engines, it replaces worn multi-rib serpentine belts that drive multiple accessories from a single pulley system. ApplianPar's design ensures proper tension and alignment, minimizing slippage during high-load scenarios like highway driving or idling with A/C on.
Honda CR-V 1997-2001 Drive Belt Kit (Set of 3)
Designed for the CR-V's B20B engine, this set covers alternator, A/C, and power steering drives with individual V-belts. It's perfect for older CR-Vs prone to belt squeal from age-related wear. The kit's matched lengths and profiles prevent imbalance, promoting quieter operation and better fuel efficiency.
Comparing the two: The Avalon kit suits larger sedans with serpentine setups for efficiency, while the CR-V kit addresses compact SUVs with separate V-belts for easier partial replacements. Choose based on your vehicle—both excel in durability, but the Avalon's integrated design reduces future service needs.
