Goodyear 1060740 is a 6-rib, 74-inch multi V serpentine belt built with EPDM rubber and a balanced twist polyester cord to restore reliable accessory drive performance on compatible Audi models.

This replacement serpentine belt is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment requirements for fit, strength, and quiet operation. Designed for direct-fit applications on a range of Audi A4 and A6 model years, the belt uses modern materials that resist heat, ozone and abrasion while delivering consistent tension and long service life. Whether you’re repairing a worn drive system or doing routine maintenance, this belt is sized and constructed for everyday road conditions.

Which vehicles does this Goodyear serpentine belt fit?

Use this belt when your vehicle is listed among the compatible model years and engine layouts. Fitment is specific to axle, engine, and accessory configurations, so always confirm the exact application against your VIN or service manual.

• Compatible with multiple Audi A4 and A6 model years (1996–2006 ranges shown).
• Includes fitment for Quattro and non-Quattro variants where specified.
• Alternate part number: 6PK1880; length: 74 inches (1880 mm).

How does the construction improve durability and performance?

Materials and internal cord design influence longevity, noise, and power transfer. This Goodyear belt combines an EPDM compound with a balanced twist polyester cord to resist common failure modes while maintaining consistent tension across pulleys.

• EPDM rubber resists heat, ozone, and abrasion for extended life.
• Balanced twist polyester cord provides high tensile strength and reduces stretch.
• Multi V rib profile ensures efficient grip and quieter operation.

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

Installation follows standard serpentine belt replacement procedures; having the correct belt length and routing diagram is essential. Regular inspection helps catch glazing, fraying, or rib separation before failure.

• Verify routing using the vehicle’s diagram or a photo before removal.
• Inspect tensioner and idler pulleys; replace if noisy or worn.
• Check belt alignment and tension after installation for optimal life.

Why choose this Goodyear belt over a generic replacement?

This Goodyear multi V belt is manufactured to match OE form, fit, and function while using contemporary compounds and cords. It’s intended to provide a reliable OEM-style replacement without upgrading the entire pulley system.

• Meets or exceeds OE requirements for quality and quiet operation.
• Specifically sized to 74" (1880 mm) for direct compatibility.
• Backed by Goodyear engineering and manufacturing standards.

Who is this for: This serpentine belt is ideal for DIY mechanics and professional technicians working on compatible Audi A4 and A6 vehicles who need a direct-replacement belt that balances durability, noise reduction, and value. It’s also suitable for anyone replacing a worn or damaged belt during routine engine accessory maintenance, provided they verify fitment against their specific vehicle application.
