A serpentine or Auxilary belt is commonly known as a fan belt due to the fact they originally drove the cooling fan. It is a single, continuous belt used to drive devices fitted on an engine.
The alternator is the most common device that is driven by a fan belt today. On a majority of modern cars today a fan belt will also drive the power steering and air conditioning. An idler pulley or a belt tensioner will guide a belts route. Some vehicles auxiliary drive belt will also drive the vehicles water pump.
An auxiliary drive belt is more efficient than the older multiple belt system. This is because they use less space in the engine compartment. These belts are put under increased tension without stretching. This will increase the fan belts life and efficiency because it reduces slip.
Reduced slip lessons the load on the engine, consequently increasing fuel economy and power. A V-belt has a tendency to “flip over” in the pulley groove at high revs when the belt stretches.
The Disadvantages:
When a fan belt snaps, breaks or becomes loose, the vehicle instantly loses multiple devices. Devices such as power steering and battery charging are all lost at once.
However, the belt typically gives ample visual warning of impending failure.
Book now and an Autoexpert’s mechanic will check for deep cracks. Squealing or a squeak is due to a slipping belt. A belt will begin to slowly deteriorate over time it will begin to shed several grooves but will continue to function normally before snapping.
