Subaru Serpentine Belt Replacement Service in Elgin

Every Subaru car, truck, and SUV was engineered with a belt-drive system that accepts engine power and distributes that energy into your vehicle's essential components. At the heart of distributing engine power to your critical components is the serpentine belt that wraps around the crankshaft to accept engine power and then distributes that energy to the alternator, power steering pump, A/C compressor, crankshaft, and idler pulley. As you can tell, a broken serpentine belt will bring your vehicle to a halt as none of the components will function properly. It is the best idea to inspect the Serpentine Belt frequently to ensure it is in excellent condition while also getting Serpentine Belt Replacement Service at the recommended maintenance schedule. Brilliance Subaru has a convenient Elgin location within a quick drive from St. Charles, Huntley, Bartlett, and Schaumburg, IL.
What are the Warning Signs of a Defective Serpentine Belt?

Changing a worn serpentine belt is an excellent decision if it starts showing signs of wear no matter what the mileage. By following the recommended maintenance schedule while monitoring its physical condition for any warning signs of a problem, you can almost guarantee that a broken serpentine belt while driving will never wreak havoc on your engine. When it comes to the Serpentine Belt, these are the most common warning signs of a problem that must never get ignored: 
  • Strange Sounds - a worn serpentine belt will have physical damage, including stretching, cracking, peeling, and fraying that causes odd sounds. If you hear chirps, squeals, or squeaks, this is a telltale warning sign of a defective belt that's about to snap. 
  • Physical Wear & Tear - reduced physical integrity is a telltale sign of a big problem; look for rib separation, frays, cracks, and fraying that signals excessive wear & tear.  
  • Component Failure - problems with belt-driven component performance is a telltale sign of a problem, including the air conditioner, power steering, battery charging system, or water pump. 
  • Engine overheats - although the engine can start with a broken Serpentine Belt, the water pump won't and neither will the engine cooling system. Your vehicle's engine can overheat within minutes if the Serpentine Belt is broken.
