Fan/Drive Belt Replacement

SKU 19231 Categories ,

Fan Belt Replacement Service

What is a fan belt and how does it work?

A fan belt is a relatively long, flat, multi-ribbed belt that is driven by the engine’s crankshaft pulley. The belt drives many, and often all, of the engine accessories such as the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, water pump, and air pump. The fan belt is tensioned by a hydraulic or spring-loaded automatic tensioner. Some older cars use a serpentine belt to drive most accessories but will also have a shorter v-style belt to drive, for example, the power steering pump.

When to consider replacing the fan belt:

  • Regularly scheduled maintenance.
  • Squealing noise, belt slippage, visible belt damage.
  • Battery Light.
  • Engine overheating.

What our customers have to say about Fixxr

Excellent Service by Tony Da Silva

Tony was assigned to my rescue when my vehicle was not starting in the morning. Initially our appointment was scheduled at 16:30 through our communication during the day we both agreed that he can come at anytime once he has done with his other duties. He arrived an hour early at 15:30. As pro he immediately diagnosed the problem of my vehicle. The problem has been sorted now and the car is able to start smoothly. His level of professionalism and customer oriented is out of this world. Keep up with the good work Tony and Thank you.
