What is the belt next to the engine?

[TravisAnn]

This is the engine's timing belt, which mainly drives the generator, water pump, and power steering pump. It generally needs to be inspected and replaced at 60,000 kilometers. It should be replaced early rather than late. Other related belts are as follows: 1. Timing belt: Most gasoline vehicles use this type of belt for transmission. It needs to be replaced around 60,000 kilometers. 2. Fan belt: Some vehicles may not have this belt, such as those with only one fan. For example, the older Santana models have a small auxiliary fan belt. 3. Other belts: These include the generator belt, water pump belt, power steering pump belt, and air conditioning belt, typically using one to three V-belts. High-end vehicles may use multi-groove belts, which last longer and are of better quality, but they are more expensive.
