The timing belt is a critical component of the engine. It synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the appropriate intervals during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes. This precise timing is essential for optimal engine performance and efficiency.

The fan belt, also known as the serpentine belt, is a crucial component that connects various engine accessories to the engine’s crankshaft pulley. In MAN trucks, this includes the water pump, alternator, air conditioning compressor, and, most importantly, the radiator fan. The primary function of the fan belt is to transfer rotational energy from the engine to these components, allowing them to function appropriately.
