When a car comes in for service and the V-belt shows signs of wear, it is tempting to only replace the belt itself. It seems like the cheapest and fastest solution, but in practice it can be an expensive decision in the long term – both for the workshop and the customer. We have 178 references ready for delivery, of which 7 include a water pump.

Wear affects the entire system – not just the belt
The V-belt is in engagement with several components: belt tensioner, pulleys and often vibration dampers. These parts are exposed to the same strain and wear as the belt. If only the belt is changed, a worn belt tensioner or pulley can quickly lead to:
- Uneven belt movement
- Noise from the belt drive
- Risk of the belt fraying or breaking
Prevention of expensive consequential damages
As the driver of the vehicle, you will - in addition to the loss of power steering - on many cars see the battery charging warning light lit if the belt comes off. On air-conditioned cars, you will also experience a lack of cooling. Of course, this is experienced as annoying - and few people probably think about the fact that there can be consequential damage associated with continuing the drive. On cars where the V-belt drive also drives the water pump, there will be an overheating of the engine. But the generator and air conditioning compressor can also be damaged. The cost of repairing this kind of damage far exceeds the cost of replacing all the parts of the V-belt drive.
