Automotive Belts 101
The belt-drive system is one of the hardest-working parts of the engine – especially when it’s at idle.
Not All Belts Require an Automatic Tensioner!
Since 2004, automakers have been designing drives using self-tensioning belts. These drives do not have a mechanical tensioner to maintain constant belt tension, and they do not have an adjustment slot that allows belt installation and tensioning. A stretch belt incorporates low-modulus and high-elongation technologies that allow the belt to be installed on these fixed-drive
Automotive Belts, While Lasting Longer Than Ever, Still Wear Out Over Time
Belts continue to be one of the most replaced wear items on vehicles today. Serpentine belts last a lot longer than older V-belts ever did, but they still wear out over time. The typical replacement interval for serpentine belts and flat belts today is around 90,000 miles – which for many vehicles means only once every seven to nine years!
Belts And Hoses: Often-Overlooked Maintenance Parts
Many motorists think belts and hoses are repair parts (replace when needed) rather than maintenance parts.
Serpentine Belts: Alignment And Wear
Belt misalignment can be caused by any of the accessory pulleys, or may be the result of improper belt installation.
