How long will the generator belt be replaced?
2 years or 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers
The replacement cycle of the generator belt is usually between 2 years or 60,000km to 80,000km , depending on the use and maintenance of the vehicle. The generator belt is one of the main belts on the car, connected with the generator, air conditioning compressor, booster pump, idler, tension wheel and crankshaft pulley and other components, its power source is the crankshaft pulley, the power provided by the rotation of the crankshaft, drive these parts to run together.
Replacement cycle
general replacement cycle : The general replacement cycle of the generator belt is 2 years or between 60,000 km and 80,000 km .
Specific replacement cycle : The specific replacement cycle should also be based on the use of the vehicle. For example, when driving about 60,000-80,000 kilometers, you should consider replacing the generator belt.
Replacement precursor
crack and aging : When the generator belt cracks, aging or slack problems, need to be replaced in time to avoid accidents.
inspection frequency : Before and after the replacement cycle, the condition of the belt should be checked regularly to ensure its normal operation.
Replacement procedure
Replacement procedure : To replace the generator belt, you need to lift the vehicle, remove the relevant parts, install the new belt and tension wheel, and finally reset the relevant parts.
Matters needing attention
Choose the right belt : When replacing, you should choose the right belt for the model and ensure that it is installed correctly.
Check other parts : When replacing the generator belt, it is recommended to check and replace the expansion wheel and other parts at the same time to ensure the overall performance of the system.
In summary, the replacement cycle of the generator belt mainly depends on the use and maintenance of the vehicle. Regular inspection and maintenance is the key to ensure the proper operation of the car.
Can the car run after the generator belt is broken?
After the generator belt breaks, the car can be driven for short distances, but it is not recommended to drive for long or long distances .
Reasons * :
generator failure : After the generator belt is broken, the generator cannot work normally, and the vehicle will rely on the battery for power supply. The battery has limited power, and driving for a long time will cause the power to run out, and the vehicle may not be able to start.
limited function of other components : the generator belt usually also drives the air conditioning compressor, steering booster pump and other components. After the belt breaks, these parts will not work normally, such as air conditioning can not be cooled, steering wheel rotation is difficult.
safety hazard : Some models of the pump is also driven by the generator belt. Belt breakage may lead to increased engine water temperature, which may damage the engine in severe cases and seriously affect driving safety.
Does the generator belt need to be replaced after it breaks?
Yes, the generator belt needs to be replaced when it breaks. Belt breakage can cause the generator and other related components to fail to work normally, affecting the normal use and safety performance of the vehicle. Therefore, once the belt is found to be broken or there is a risk of breakage, it should be replaced immediately.
The impact on other parts of the car after the generator belt breaks:
generator : The generator cannot work properly, resulting in rapid battery consumption.
air conditioner compressor : The air conditioner cannot be cooled, affecting the driving comfort.
steering booster pump : the steering wheel rotation is difficult, increasing the difficulty of driving and safety risks.
engine : Some models of water pump driven by the generator belt, belt breakage may cause engine water temperature rise, in serious cases may damage the engine.
In summary, although the generator belt can be driven for a short distance after breaking, it is not recommended to drive for a long time or long distance. At the same time, the belt needs to be replaced in time after breaking to avoid further damage to other parts of the vehicle and affecting driving safety.
