An adjustable fan belt, typically made of durable rubber and designed for flexibility, is a key part of a car's engine system. Its main function is to connect various engine components, particularly the engine's crankshaft to the cooling system's fan. This connection allows the fan to draw air through the radiator, helping to regulate the engine's temperature. An overheating engine can lead to severe damage, making the role of the fan belt critical in maintaining an optimal operating temperature.
