Auger 90840 V-Belt Fan

Description

This Auger V-Belt Fan is a critical component for engine drive systems. It is used to connect the engine’s crankshaft to the fan, facilitating cooling by driving the fan blades. This belt ensures efficient power transmission and reliable engine cooling. It is manufactured by Auger with MPN 90840 and is sourced from China.

Key Features & Benefits

This part basically connects the engine’s crankshaft to the fan itself. The engine spins, the belt transfers that spin to the fan, and the fan pulls air through the radiator. It’s a pretty simple mechanical connection – just transferring rotational power. Sometimes it’ll also run the water pump, depending on the vehicle. It’s essential for the cooling system. When the engine runs, it creates a lot of heat. The radiator dissipates that heat, but it needs airflow to do its job. The fan, driven by this belt, provides that airflow. It’s a key part of keeping the engine from overheating, especially when you're idling in traffic or going at slower speeds where natural airflow isn’t enough.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Overheating can cause serious engine damage – warped cylinder heads, blown gaskets, all sorts of expensive problems. This belt is a critical link in preventing that. You’ll notice if it’s going bad usually because you’ll hear a squealing sound, especially when you first start the car or put a load on the engine. Or, more seriously, you might see the temperature gauge climbing higher than normal. A worn or broken belt means the fan isn't spinning at the right speed, or not at all. They don't last forever, so it’s smart to replace it as part of regular maintenance. You can find a good replacement at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re usually fairly straightforward to change yourself, or a mechanic can do it pretty quickly.
