A system of belts and pulleys driven by a main pulley connected to the motor’s crankshaft harnesses engine power to operate the power steering pump, water pumps, fan, etc. The most commonly used belt is the Vbelt, although there is another belt style that utilizes grooves corresponding to grooves in the pulley. Manufacturer programs offer a selection of common belts and pulleys to fit most of the cars on the road and target your inventory investment to the most frequently used items.
Consumers should be educated to check the condition of all the belts on the car and replace any that are cracked, slippery, dry or brittle. Broken belts can cause the engine to overheat.
