Belts

The aim of drive belts is to transport power between different engine components, the alternator, the water pump, the power steering pump, the air conditioner compressor. Eventually, your vehicle's belt will wear down from continuous exposure to heat and friction and will need to be replaced. Loud squeals, poor battery charging, and even overheating are symptoms that should lead you to investigate the drive belts on your engine and potentially replace them. You may also notice physical signs of failure, including missing chunks, cracks, damaged ribs, uneven wear or rib separation. When a belt in your engine breaks you will have a problem within your engine and it could cause extensive damage. Prevention is the key when it comes to your belts. Checking them frequently for wear and tear is a must. Also checking to see that they are tightened just the right amount and not too loose is important. Besides your drive belt you also have the timing belt that has the job of regulating the valves in your Jaguar engine. You want the valves in your engine to open and close at the right time. When you do find that it is necessary to replace any of the belts be sure to buy genuine OEM belt replacements. Buying OEM will guarantee that your engine will run well and efficiently.
