How long to replace the car generator belt.
The replacement cycle of a car's generator belt is usually between 3 years or 60,000km to 4 years or 60,000km, depending on the model and conditions of use. In general, private cars are recommended to be replaced every 4 years or 60,000 km. The generator belt is one of the most important 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, powered by the rotation of the crankshaft, and then drive other parts to run together. Therefore, it is very important to check the status of the belt regularly, if the core of the belt is broken, the groove surface is cracked, the covering layer of the belt and the pull rope are separated, the pull rope is scattered, or the inner diameter of the belt on the pulley and the bottom of the pulley groove are no gaps, etc., they need to be replaced.
The cost of replacing the car generator belt is about 800 yuan to 1000 yuan, and the specific cost needs to be determined according to the actual situation of the vehicle and the specific needs of the replacement. In addition, when replacing the generator belt, it may be necessary to replace the tensioner at the same time to ensure the normal operation of the belt and extend the service life.
For specific models such as the Honda Accord, the replacement cycle of the generator belt can refer to the general recommendations above, but the specific cycle may vary depending on the model and the conditions of use. Therefore, owners are advised to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations and vehicle instructions for the correct replacement method and cycle.
Can the car generator belt be broken
A car generator can run with a broken belt, but not for long.
After the generator belt breaks, the generator will stop working, and the vehicle consumes the direct power supply of the battery. Due to the limited battery power, after driving a short distance, the vehicle will run out of power and cannot start. In addition, some models of water pumps and steering booster pumps are also driven by the generator belt, and these devices will stop working after the belt breaks, resulting in increased engine water temperature and vehicle power failure, seriously affecting driving safety.
Therefore, although the vehicle can still run briefly after the generator belt breaks, it is recommended to stop and replace the belt as soon as possible to avoid more serious consequences. At the same time, the owner should also check and replace the belt regularly to prevent safety hazards.
What's with the squeaky car generator belt
The causes of a squeaky car generator belt may include:
The belt slips on the generator, possibly due to loose or aging of the belt. The loosening of the belt may be caused by improper adjustment of the tension wheel or insufficient elasticity of the tension wheel. Belt aging means that the belt gradually hardens and loses elasticity during long-term use, and the friction between the belt and the pulley is reduced.
The use of the belt is too long, and the aging itself is elongated, especially after the cooling car is started, because the generator needs a larger load to charge the vehicle battery, which will cause the belt to slip and abnormal sound.
If the belt is too loose or too tight, it will cause abnormal noise. If the belt is too loose, it will cause the belt to slip, producing screams; If the belt is too tight, it will lead to increased friction and buzz.
Improper belt installation, such as bolts are not tightened, the belt is not tensioned, etc., will also lead to abnormal belt noise.
Accessories hub problems, such as generators, air conditioning compressors or water pumps due to wear or loose noise.
Dry belt, if there is a white powdery substance found on the surface of the belt, it may be caused by dry belt.
Solutions include:
Check and adjust the tension of the belt to ensure that the tightness is moderate.
Replace the aged belt.
If the belt is improperly installed, follow the instructions to ensure proper installation.
Inspect and replace worn or loose attachment hubs.
Use proper lubricants to help reduce noise from friction.
