The Belt That Can Kill your Engine

from Car Connection Workshop

The Accessory drive belt may not look like a cooling-system component, but on many vehicles, it plays a critical role in keeping the engine alive. If that belt drives water pump, a broken or failed belt can stoop coolant circulation almost instantly-and the engine can go from running normally to catastrophic overheating in a very short time. So how long should you keep that belt. in service? Until it breaks? Until you hear it squealing? Until you can see cracks? I wouldn't recommend pushing it that far.👍😂 If your vehicle is one you plan on keeping for the long haul, preventative maintenance is your best insurance. A relatively inexpensive belt can be a whole lot cheaper than replacing an engine damaged by a severe overheat. We've covered nearly every component in the cooling system during this revival series, and today we're putting the spotlight on one of the simplest-and potentially most destructive-failures. Don't wait for the belt to tell you it's done. #CoolingSystem #PreventativeMaintenance #EngineOverheating More Episodes and.....project Details are available at ccbusnet.com you'll fine everything on our home page if you'd like to follow the build & Repair work we do& connect with our program partners, click their logo to meet them.
