## 🔌 Function

Transmits drive from the crankshaft pulley to the engine's belt-driven auxiliaries.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Squealing from the belt run, worst when cold or under load
-   Cracks across the inner face or fraying along an edge
-   Flanks glazed where the belt has been slipping
-   Rubber dust collecting around the pulleys

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Slack the tensioner or adjuster right off and roll the belt onto the pulleys by hand; levering a belt over a pulley flange with a screwdriver breaks the cords in the belt side walls
-   Check the pulley grooves are clean and unworn before fitting — a groove with a polished, glazed bottom or a worn shoulder will not grip a new belt and will chew it up
-   Check pulley alignment and the condition of the tensioner, idler and their bearings while the belt is off
-   Tension the belt by the method and to the deflection given in the workshop manual for your engine, then run the engine, stop it and re-check; a new belt beds in and loses tension quickly
-   Where two or more belts drive together, renew them as a matched set so the load stays shared
