What are drive belts all about?

The drive belts are connected to the crankshaft (a part of the engine), as well as to the alternator, air conditioning, and power steering system. The belts are responsible for transferring power from the crankshaft to these other systems. Over time, and especially if multiple systems that put stress on the belts are being used, the belts can grow loose, or unaligned. When this happens the belts will need to be adjusted so that they can return to their normal, optimal position.

Keep in mind:

  • If the drive belt is at all frayed or cracked it should be replaced instead of adjusted.
  • When the drive belt is adjusted, the drive belt tensioner and idler pulley should both be inspected.

How it's done:

  • Adjust the drive belts

Our recommendation:

Your drive belts should always be checked during tuneups and maintenance. During any kind of servicing your drive belts should be checked to see if they need to be replaced or adjusted.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to adjust the drive belts?

  • Squealing noise from the engine

How important is this service?

Your alternator, power steering, and air conditioning are all powered by your drive belt. The belt is connected to the crankshaft, and transfers power to these systems. As the belt is used and wears, it can grow lose, or begin to become unaligned. If the drive belt becomes loose, it won’t move as efficiently, and it won’t transfer power as efficiently. If the belt becomes unaligned, it can come into contact with parts of the engine, which can cause damage.

BMW 740iL V8-4.4L - Check Engine Light is on - Phoenix, Arizona
Peter was early as indicated on most of his other reviews, and professional. Took the time to explain everything out as he worked, and was able to diagnose the main issue, although I have to schedule that repair for another day. We got plenty of other work done, and in shorter time than was originally booked. He was also able to discuss upcoming work needed for maintaining a healthy car. I will be booking him again for the other issue as soon as the quote comes back. My mail carrier saw what was happening, and asked for a business card, already beginning the referrals!

Once again, I found Grzegorz to be as helpful as possible in diagnosing my car. I appreciate when he goes above and beyond to explain things and provide advice.

BMW 740iL V8-4.4L - Crossover Pipe Gasket & O-Rings - Phoenix, Arizona
We are done! I purchased this vehicle almost a year ago, with no viable service records. Peter was able to diagnose, and fix all of the problems that arose, as well as help to solve anything that may have arisen immediately. The care is running smoothly, and without issue, and I feel confident that I will be set for a good while. Thank you for a great service, convenience, and professionalism, showing up early, finishing on time, and being honest throughout the entire process.

Whitney was very professional from preping to finish of this service. Me and my son (17 years old) were very impressed with his technical and mechanical knowledge of the problem. He was approachable and very patience and thoroughly examined the problem and best of all he explained things in plain language that me and my 17 year old son understood. Thank you Whitney and I am surely will use this service again and again and will recommend this to my BMW friends. Thank you. Lisa K Fakatene
