Worn v-belt?

In general, the V-belt is a maintenance-free part of your car. But it still needs to be replaced because of wear or old age. It is important to regularly check the V-belt on wear and tear. Didn't replace the v-belt on time? Then it may snap. If the belt breaks, the alternator and the water pump are no longer driven. These parts can also break, quickly increasing the repair bill. It is therefore not recommended continuing driving with a worn v-belt.

A worn V-belt can often be recognized by a squeaking or grinding noise when the engine is running. This sound often becomes louder when accelerating. Often the belt is no longer tight. This can be caused by stretching. You can easily check this with the so-called âfinger testâ?. If you can pull the belt up with your finger then there is not enough tension on it. You can also check the material for cracks. Is this the case? Then its highly recommended replacing it.

Replacing a v-belt

Replacing the V-belt is a job that you can certainly do yourself. But, you can also choose to have it replaced at your local garage. The costs at a garage easily run up to Â£ 100. If you replace the V-belt yourself, youâre a lot cheaper off. On average, the price of a new V-belt at Winparts is around Â£ 10 to Â£ 20. So a few tenners can be saved that way. Replacing a V-belt goes something like this:

Locate the V-belt;

Get your car on a lift so that you can easily get to it;

Locate the alternator and see where it is mounted. Here you will find 2 screws, loosen them;

Then slide the alternator to the side until the V-belt hangs loose;

Then remove the old V-belt;

Put the new V-belt on exactly the same way as you removed the old one;

Slide the alternator back far enough so that there is sufficient tension on the belt. Reattach the alternator;

Perform the finger test again after youâve replaced the V-belt. You can then check whether there is sufficient tension on the belt. Start the engine and check if everything is working properly. Also, listen to the sounds the car makes. If everything sounds and works properly, the replacement is successful.

V-belt

A V-belt is a drive belt - also called a Vee belt and less commonly a wedge rope, or wedge belt, that in effect the basic belt for power transmission is. This belt is driven by the engine's crankshaft. The V-belt then drives the alternator and the water pump. Generally speaking, it’s introduced to solve a slippage and alignment problem. The V-belt owes its name to the V-shape. In most new cars, the Vee belt has been replaced by the auxiliary belt. The auxiliary belt is wider, flatter and without ridges. The belt can wear over time and even break. It´s highly recommended to regularly check its condition and if needed to replace it on time.
