What Your Serpentine Belt Does
A Subaru's serpentine belt controls many important systems in your automobile such as your alternator and power steering. Also, it helps many other systems that require electrical power such as the engine cooling water pump and internal systems as well. The variety of systems it helps power is why serpentine belts are also sometimes called accessory belts. However, like any other type of automotive belt, they do need replacing when they wear down, crack, or snap. If your serpentine belt suddenly brakes you'll find your car inoperable and in need of a tow home to Grove City.
Signs Of A Bad Serpentine Belt
A failing, slipping, or partially torn serpentine belt produces several performance issues that show that repair work is needed. Signs include squealing noises coming from under the hood, overheating due to the belt being unable to power the cooling system, and the air conditioning or power steering failing which indicates a broken belt. A broken serpentine makes your car inoperable and if the belt breaks during a drive in Dublin it could cause an accident.
