Belt Replacement
Belt Replacement
In older models of cars, there were very few belts being used in the engine. Nowadays, there are a lot of additional components that are powered by a belt rather than under their own power. This is good in a way, but when you need a belt replacement in Orlando, it means more than one engine component can fail.
All belts use the engines rotational force to power these additional accessories. These can include the following:
- Alternator
- Power steering
- Water pump
- Air conditioning unit
- Radiator fan
- VW repair
Aside from these, other components are used to help keep the belts in decent running order. New Age Mobile Mechanic in Orlando can quickly check the condition of any belt to make sure it is in good condition.
Belt Tensioners
These are in place to help the belt stay on the pulleys and at the correct tension to make sure everything works as it should. If a tensioner loses strength, the belts can wear much quicker and deteriorate to the point of breaking.
A good mobile mechanic can easily spot a tensioner that isn’t working correctly. They can see this from belt wear before they check the tensioner itself. Our mechanics check all the pulleys are in line, and the tensioner is moving freely through its arc of travel.
Serpentine Belts
These are the belts that a belt tensioner is used for, and it is this belt that controls all of the above accessories. Because these are of a small thickness, they do wear over time and are a common thing to be changed by an Orlando FL mobile mechanic.
All of our mechanics vehicles carry the most common belt sizes, so if you find you have a broken serpentine belt, or some of your other accessories have stopped working. It is only a quick call and a quick job from our mobile repair technicians.
