Pacific Automotive Network Odyssey uses a timing belt. The Odyssey is a medium and large minivan owned by Honda. The length, width and height of the car are 4,845 mm, 1,802 mm and 1,697 mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2,900 mm. The 2.4L Earth Dream engine is standard across the series.
The 2.4L Earth Dream engine standard on all Odyssey series is paired with an efficient and smooth CVT continuously variable transmission, with a maximum power of 137 kW and a maximum torque of 243 Nm If the timing belt is not replaced in time, its surface will begin to age and cracks will appear after a long period of use. If the timing belt continues to be used, it will break easily. Once the belt breaks, it will cause breakage. motor to lift the valve and the valve will stop working. The car will not run properly.
There existsthree common types of belts on cars: fan belts, poly-V belts, and timing belts. Installation location of automotive belts: In automotive applications, they are mainly installed in places such as automobile engine crankshaft to cam, water pump, generator, air conditioning compressor and steering pump assisted.
1. The fan belt is a belt driven by the crankshaft. Its main purpose is to drive the engine fan and water pump.
2. Multi-V belt, also called air conditioning belt, is used to drive the generator, air conditioning compressor and power steering pump. It is attached to the crankshaft pulley and is tightened by the belt. air conditioning belt tensioner. When this belt is damaged, the electric assistance will feel heavy and there will be nohas no steering assistance. If the air conditioner is turned on, the air conditioner compressor will not start, so cooling will not be possible.
3. . The timing belt (Timingbelt) is a part of the engine. It is an important part of the pneumatic system. It is connected to the crankshaft and associated with a certain transmission ratio to ensure the accuracy of intake and exhaust timings. The function of the timing belt is that when the engine is running, the stroke of the piston (up and down movement), the opening and closing of the valve (time), the ignition sequence (time), under the "timing" connection, it must always be "synchronized" operation. The engine drives various auxiliary mechanisms by belt transmission, such as air conditioner compressor, power steering oil pump, alternator, etc. If the belt slips or breaks, the associated auxiliary mechanisms will not be able to operate.operate normally, therefore affecting the normal use car. It is therefore essential to check the drive belt regularly.
