A car can still drive if the motor belt is broken, but it cannot run for a long time, because at that time the car consumes battery power instead of it. magneto energy, which can easily damage the vehicle. the car engine, etc. It is recommended to repair it immediately.
Because the generator belts in cars are all V-belts that connect the three components, the engine crankshaft, the water pump and the generator. If the generator belt breaks, the water pump will break. Stop working. At this time, if you continue driving, the antifreeze in the engine will not be able to circulate and cool, which will easily cause the car to consume the cylinder seal. scratched or connected to the cylinder.
Signs of generator belt replacement
1. When the generator belt is running, it makes an abnormal noise.
This situation is caused by the motor belt being too loose or the installation position being uncertain. If there is a sliding sound, it is best to check it in time.
2. The generator belt has cracks, splits and peeling.
This situation is caused by improper installation position, uneven force or corrosion. It can also be caused by the aging and hardening of the engine belt after too long use.
3. When the generator belt is used for almost 2 years, or when it has traveled 60,000 kilometers.
The lifespan of a general engine belt is 2 years or 60,000 kilometers, so it should be replaced when the specified maintenance period has expired. You should not wait until it breaks before replacing it, as this can easily present a danger.
The car can still be driven if thegenerator belt is broken. But it can't drive for a long time, because at that time the car consumes battery power instead of magneto power, which can easily damage the car engine and so on. It is recommended to repair it as soon as possible. Because a car's generator belt is a V-belt, it connects all three components, the engine crankshaft, the water pump, and the generator. If the generator belt breaks, the water pump will stop working.
Consequences of a broken belt
The generator belt is the main belt of the car. The power source for the belt is the crankshaft pulley and belt. Power is provided by the rotation of the crankshaft. The generator belt needs to be replaced if the belt core is broken or the groove surface is cracked. It must be replaced immediately. The layer ofbelt cover is separated from the cord or if the cord is loose. on the pulley, the inner diameter of the belt must be the same as that of the pulley. The pulley needs to be replaced if there is no space at the bottom of the groove.
