As the fan belt endures constant use, it can wear out and show signs of failure. Drivers should be vigilant for the following symptoms
Signs of Wear and Replacement
Conclusion
2. Strength Limitations While modern belts are quite durable, they may not be as strong as chains when it comes to handling extreme power outputs. This makes them less suitable for high-performance or racing applications.
3. Maintenance Schedule Most vehicle manufacturers provide a recommended maintenance schedule for timing belt replacement, commonly ranging from 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Ignoring these recommendations can lead to premature belt wear and the risks associated with a belt failure. Regular checks are imperative, and car owners should be aware of the signs that a timing belt may need attention, such as unusual engine noises, difficulty starting the engine, or visible cracks and wear on the belt itself.
