Toyota is correct, they do use 6PK1810, but for some strange reason, some also use the 6PK 1890. The best thing is to take out your old belt and walk with it or buy the two and let the parts outlet, refund you for the one you did not use. However, if your old belt still have writing on it, you can also check that for the correct size.

I change these belts in about five Altis. Four of them used 6PK1890 and one use 6PK1810. So chances are you bought the correct belt, hence the reason I told you 6PK 1890. You can get it sell if it is not correct as it is the more popular belt for the Altis. It can also be used in the Ford Focus.

Praise.. or anyone else.. can u tell me if the belt is difficult to remove.. i usually do my own work on my cars but when i looked at the NZE , seems a lil bit tricky with the belt tensioner

It is actually very easy. Look at the right side of the car, on top where the belt tensioner is located, there is a 19mm motionless nut, meaning it does not look like is bolting on to anything. Put in a 19 socket on a power handle or you can also use a 19 spanner. Turn the nut clockwise and this will release the tention on the belt. Slip off the old belt, taking note exactly how the old belt is position. Replace the belt exactly the same way by turning clockwise on the nut. When you are done simple release the socket or spanner. No need to tension belt as the tensioner apply the right amount of pressure. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPLY ANY PRESSURE ON THE TENSIONER BY TURNING IT ANTI CLOCKWISE. The tensioner can be easily damage if this is done, and the cost of a new one is over $1600.
