Should I worry about this?
Aux belt has what looks like a spliced joint. You can see where the markings don't line up. Or could it be a crimp/damage?

I guess not.
Maybe I should stop worrying and just chill, after all it's a brand new belt fitted by a main dealer. I do have a tendency to get paranoid about things that may happen to my car once I've read about problems that have happened to others. Hence I got this belt changed as soon as I got the car just for peace of mind because there was no specific paperwork to prove it had been done previously (apart from stamps in the service book), |

I presume all such belts are spliced somehow, otherwise I'm not sure how they would be made. I know you can make rubber bands by casting a tube, then slicing into individual bands, but I don't think you can do that with the sort of reinforced belts we're talking about here?

As cloth says it starts out as a strip and then gets heat welded together which makes it as strong as anything that didn't get joined up, come to think about it I think they stitch it together so it's reinforced twice,
The fact the branding is across the top of it says nothing sinister about it. |
