What additional factors could affect fan belt replacement?
Once a car engine is running, your fan belt is too. And that’s not all. Pulleys, tensioners, idlers, dampers, and gears all play their part in transferring energy from the crankshaft to various other components and operations under the bonnet—but primarily the alternator and cooling fan.
When a fan belt breaks, you might not be able to drive your car as it powers many vital operations. However, with enough charge in the battery, your car could still drive for quite a while without powering the alternator. That said, there is always the chance of it causing additional damage to its connected components if it snaps completely.
Watching out for wear and being vigilant is all part of maintaining its ideal performance and avoiding unnecessary damages and expenditure.
