Auxiliary drive belt kit

The average life of an auxiliary belt is between 50,000 to 120,000 km. The exact replacement interval is specified in your vehicle handbook. Although the car will still start with a defective auxiliary belt, it is not wise to continue driving. The power steering of the car will no longer work properly. The engine will also no longer be properly cooled. In addition, the battery is no longer charged because the alternator is no longer powered. Continuing to drive with a broken belt will cause more damage to the car, so check and replace it in time. When replacing the auxiliary belt, it is useful to immediately replace the tensioner and pulleys. These often don't last much longer than the life of an auxiliary belt. At Winparts you will therefore find complete auxiliary belt sets including tensioners and pulleys. Note: some sets only contain the auxiliary belt with tensioner or only the auxiliary belt with pulleys, not every set is the same!

auxiliary belt worn

The auxiliary belt drives the alternator, power steering, air conditioning and water pump. This makes the auxiliary belt the modern replacement for the V-belt. The crankshaft sets the auxiliary belt in motion, on which it then drives the various car parts. The correct tension on the auxiliary belt is maintained by the belt tensioner. The guide rollers then ensure that the components are driven in the correct direction of rotation.

A auxiliary belt will wear out with age. A worn belt can be recognized by dryness cracks that will become visible in the belt. Keep in mind that bending the belt can also cause these tears. Another indication that the auxiliary belt is worn is a squeaking, knocking or ticking noise. Often this sound is speed dependent. This means that these sounds are especially audible when driving at high revs. The beeping sound will then speed up. When shifting to the next gear, the squeaking noise will diminish.

Replace auxiliary belt

The auxiliary belt is a car part that you can replace yourself. However, it is a precision job. So take your time and try not to rush it. Follow the steps below to replace the auxiliary belt yourself:
