FEBI176318 Febi Auxiliary Belt

This belt is basically the power source for a bunch of things bolted to your engine that aren’t directly involved in making the car go. It runs things like your alternator – which keeps your battery charged and powers all your electrical stuff – your power steering pump, your air conditioning compressor, and sometimes the water pump. It’s a single, looping belt that connects the engine’s crankshaft to those accessories, transferring the rotational energy to get them working. Think of it as the engine's helper. The engine is busy making power to move the car, and this belt takes some of that power and distributes it around to keep everything else running smoothly. It’s a pretty important support system. It's usually located on the front of the engine, often near the pulleys. You’ll often see diagrams online showing the belt’s path. Well, if this belt fails, those accessories stop working. That means no charging system, so your battery will die and your car will stall. No power steering makes steering really tough, especially at low speeds. And no A/C… well, you can imagine that in the summer. You’ll usually notice if it’s starting to go bad. You might hear a squealing sound, especially when you first start the car or when you turn on the A/C. That’s the belt slipping. Sometimes you’ll see cracking on the belt itself. Catching it early is good because a totally broken belt can cause more damage. We carry a good selection of these, and you can also find them on sites like Fixparts Online. Replacing it is usually pretty straightforward, but if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, it’s best to have a mechanic take a look.
