What Causes Belt Squeaking After a Car Goes Through Water?
1 Answers
This is caused by the belt slipping when it gets wet. Below is relevant information about car belts: Installation Location: In automotive applications, they are primarily installed between the car engine's crankshaft and components such as the camshaft, water pump, generator, air conditioning compressor, and power steering pump. Function: The engine drives various auxiliary mechanisms via belt transmission, including the air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, and alternator. If the belt slips or breaks, the related auxiliary mechanisms will fail to operate normally, affecting the car's regular use. Therefore, it is essential to inspect the drive belt regularly.
