adjustable v belt

A serpentine belt is a long, flat belt made from durable rubber that winds around various pulleys within the engine compartment. It is characterized by its unique design, which allows it to loop around multiple components, thus minimizing the number of belts needed to operate essential systems. The term serpentine derives from its winding or serpentine shape, which is visually distinct compared to the older setup of multiple V-belts used in many vehicles prior to the late 20th century.
