Mazda MX-5 Mk1 Drive Belts
Cam belt overdue or auxiliary belt looking tired? Our MX-5 Mk1 parts range covers cam belts, auxiliary belts and tensioners for both the 1.6 and MX-5 Mk1 1.8 NA engines.
Cam Belts, Auxiliary Belts and Tensioners
A snapped cam belt on an interference engine causes serious damage, so keeping to the service interval matters more than most jobs in our Mazda MX-5 Mk1 parts catalogue. While the engine is accessible, it's worth checking the water pump too, since many owners replace both in one go.
Auxiliary belts drive the alternator and power steering pump, so a worn one affects more than just noise; check your electrical system if the alternator isn't charging properly afterwards. Our cooling and heating range covers the water pump itself, and a service kit bundles belts with other routine maintenance neatly.
Tensioners and idler pulleys wear alongside the belts themselves, so replacing the full kit avoids repeat labour down the line. Call 01522 568000 for advice on the correct belt kit for your MX-5 Mk1 1.8 or 1.6 engine.
