Why Drive Belts Are Important

If you’re like most drivers, you may not know much about one crucial component of their vehicle – the drive belt. Sometimes called the serpentine belt and V-belt, the drive belt delivers power from your engine to crucial areas of your drive system. The power steering pump, alternator, and AC compressor all need the drive belt to function.

When things go wrong with your drive belt, things can go downhill quickly. If you need your drive belt inspected, you can schedule an appointment with the team here at O’Daniel Honda near Boys Town, NE, for quality care. Check out our guide to the basics of your drive belt.

Recognize Drive Belt Warning Signs

Your drive belt does not require attention very often. It must be changed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Your regular and more frequent services, like an oil change, are a good time to visually inspect your drive belt for any problems. However, other signs will make themselves known if your drive belt is reaching the end of its life::

  • Visible Wear: If your drive belt looks dry, cracked, glossy, or frayed, it’s time for a replacement.
  • Noises: Chirping and squealing sounds can point to a faulty drive belt.
  • System Failure: If your power steering or AC is not working, your drive belt may be broken.
  • Warning Lights: Your check engine or battery light may illuminate when your drive belt is on the fritz.

Any of the above issues should not be ignored. Make an appointment with a trusted professional right away.
