Do you notice unusual squeals from the engine bay- especially under sudden acceleration? This could be a sign that your belts are wearing and in need of replacement. We recommend you check all belts- those rubber bands which connect wheels or pulleys to each other- at least once between services. These hard-working belts are absolutely essential to the functioning of your engine. From power steering to airconditioning and alternator operation- belts harness the power of the engine and use some of that to run a different component. Belts can fray, stretch or snap. Belts which are over-tightened can cause premature wear to bearings, calling for costly repairs later. Even if you don’t drive big distances in between services, the compounds within engine bay belts can deteriorate to the point of failure. Ring to get your car checked and avoid the risk of broken engine bay belts.
