Should the Multi-Rib Belt Be Replaced Along with the Pulleys?
1 Answers
The multi-rib belt needs to be replaced along with the tensioner pulley. Inspection and Replacement of Automotive Belts: During each maintenance service, it is necessary to check the belt tension and wear condition. Even if everything appears normal, the belt should generally be proactively replaced at around 80,000 kilometers. Importance of the Engine Belt: The engine belt is the most critical belt in a vehicle, connecting components such as the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, and crankshaft pulley. When the belt develops fine cracks, it should be replaced immediately. If it breaks, it can lead to the alternator failing to generate electricity, power steering failure, and difficulty in steering, which is a highly dangerous situation.
