All About Serpentine Belts
Serpentine belts are durable rubber loops of circular design. The serpentine belt is positioned at the front of a vehicle and wraps around all of the accessory drive belt pulleys. The belt is driven with power at the crankshaft and delivers drive power to the accessories needing it to operate. The accessories that rely on a serpentine belt to work include the air conditioning compressor, alternator, power steering pump, and water pump. With the serpentine belt being vital to performance and safety, you will want to have it inspected routinely, respond with replacement service promptly when found to be defective, and replace it if it shows signs of defect.
What are the Warning Signs of a Defective Serpentine Belt?
The serpentine belt delivers power to specific accessories; when it fails, those accessories will not work as they cannot receive the power needed to operate. Although there are usually signs of physical decline before it fails, drive belt accessory failure will be impossible to ignore. Here are all of the warning signs of a faulty serpentine belt needing replacement service: Physical defects, such as excessive cracking, rib separation, or fraying. Squealing noise toward the front of the engine that often worsens during acceleration Difficulty or impossible to turn the steering wheel (power steering pump offline) Air conditioning not working (air conditioning compressor offline) Battery warning light or a dead battery (alternator offline) Engine overheating (water pump offline)
