Cracked Fan Belt
Check Your Engine Belts
At the front of your engine there will be a series of rubber drive belts that loop around various pulleys, driving everything from the alternator to the air conditioner compressor.
Rubber perishes, more so in extreme conditions like those found in an operating engine bay. Should the belt driving the alternator break, the charging system will then fail to charge the battery and other systems eventually leaving the vehicle without power. Should a timing belt break during operation, serious damage could cause car engine problems.
Get your timing belt and accessory drive belts checked every 40,000 kilometres, preferably replacing it every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometres (as required) or as specified in the manufacturers manual. Our service technicians can check your timing belt and other engine belts during your next car service.
