The engine belt is an important part of the vehicle’s engine operating system. It is generally replaced for 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. It is replaced by detecting whether the belt is fatigued and cracking and whether the belt pulley has abnormal sound. During maintenance of the Freelander 2 vehicle, the maintenance technician checked that the belt had cracked and had to be replaced. The belt, tensioner and rudder wheel both belong to the belt set, and all the belt set wheels needed to be replaced due to abnormal noises.
This time, the belt components are replaced for the vehicle, and the original parts of the same model are used to ensure the quality of the original vehicle and are more secure.

What will happen if the belt breaks? If it is very dangerous while driving, the first thing is that all belt drive systems stop working, the generator does not generate electricity, the booster pump does not work, and the direction cannot be turned. It is very dangerous if you are catching up with lane changes, turning, etc. while driving at high speed.

The vehicle arrived at the store and was ready to start inspection. This vehicle was a 10-year-old Freelander 2 gasoline 3.2 displacement model.

Compared with the old and the new, the engine belt uses the crankshaft pulley to output power to drive the generator, air conditioning compressor, booster pump, idler pulley, and tensioner pulley, and uses the belt to drive other components to operate. Whether it needs to be replaced can be seen with your eyes. When there are many small cracks on the side of the belt that contacts the pulley, it means that its life is approaching and it needs to be replaced.
