Drive Belts

• If there is a squealing noise coming from the front of the vehicle when the engine is running. This could be due to slippage or misalignment of the belt.
• Engine overheating as the belt is not turning the water pump to circulate coolant in the engine.
• Power steering or air conditioning not working. This will become evident if the belt has broken and isn't turning both the power steering pump or the air conditioning compressor.
• Damage or wear on the belt.

If a drive belt breaks, you could end up stranded somewhere, therefore, it is important to keep an eye out and ensure you look out for key symptoms.

A drive belt is a vital part of your engine bay in that it is responsible for running multiple components such as power steering, alternator, water pump and more. These ancillaries will vary depending on the vehicle you are driving. If you notice any of the above symptoms or are unsure, get in contact with your local mechanic to ensure you make it on your next adventure.
