When to replace the auxiliary belt?

If the serpentine belt is in a bad shape, it can snap. When the auxiliary belt snaps, the water pump is no longer powered which effectively means that the engine no longer gets cooled. Additionally, because the alternator also stops working the battery will no longer be charged and also steering becomes a lot harder. Possibly resulting in dangerous situations. We recommend that you regularly check if the auxiliary drive belt is still in good condition.

As said, the serpentine belt is sensitive to wear. The auxiliary drive belt can crack at places and it may stretch. The auxiliary belt will lose strength and the alternator, power steering pump, water pump and air conditioning compressor are no longer properly driven.

If the serpentine belt is still in good condition, you can consider greasing it with WD40.
