Why does the newly replaced belt make a whistling noise?
1 Answers
Newly replaced belts may produce a whistling noise due to metal or stone impurities on the friction surface, or improper belt tension. Below is relevant information about automotive belts: 1. Replacement reasons: To ensure normal engine operation and prolong engine lifespan, reliable and regular vehicle maintenance is required. For ordinary vehicles, engine belts should be replaced after 1.5 to 2 years of use, or when the mileage reaches 60,000 kilometers. 2. Hazards of belt breakage: If a belt breaks during driving, it poses significant safety risks. If a belt breaks, owners cannot replace it themselves and must visit a repair shop for replacement. Considering various factors, belts should be replaced when the total mileage reaches 80,000 kilometers.
