Your Subaru has many systems it needs to power and the serpentine belt helps transfer that energy from your car's engine to these many essential parts. Many of your car's pumps such as the water pump and the power steering pump rely on the power your serpentine belt helps generate. Your serpentine belt should last roughly 90,000 miles as advancements in belt design and materials have made them far more durable than older designs.
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.
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.
