Energy is transmitted by the belt moving at a certain speed which activates pumps and other devices. It is designed in a way that prevents excessive production of heat through friction.
Common problems with V-ribbed belt kits - causes and symptoms
Rib separation and other mechanical damage to the belt. This can occur due to incorrect installation of a new V-ribbed belt. These defects can also be the result of contamination, for example, if some technical fluids are spilt. Symptoms of this problem are clicks and squeals from the engine.
Torn belt. This can happen if foreign objects get inside the engine, if rollers or the clutch get stuck or as a consequence of excessive loads. If the belt is torn then all the components it powers will stop working.
Corrosion damage to pulleys. This can happen if a vehicle is used in very humid conditions for extended periods. This issue can only be identified during a vehicle inspection.
Worn-out or cracked rollers. This often happens if the part is incorrectly fitted. Damaged rollers do not move correctly and therefore fail to perform their functions properly. This problem can be accompanied with components becoming stuck and overheating. An indicator that this has happened is smoke coming from the engine.
Loose tension. This is a consequence of some parts being worn-out because of extremely heavy loads. The engine squeaking is a symptom of this defect.
