In car maintenance, belt maintenance is one of the more important items, and it is also relatively easy to be forgotten. The belt tensioner is used to adjust the tightness of the timing belt. The belt tensioner is a vulnerable part of auto parts, and the belt is easy to be stretched after a long time of use. The belt tensioner can automatically adjust the tension of the belt. With the belt tensioner, the car runs more smoothly, reduces the noise during driving, and prevents the car from slipping.

A car has two belts: the timing belt and the accessory belt. The replacement cycle of the timing belt is about three years or 60,000 kilometers. At the same time as the replacement, the tensioner and idler need to be replaced at the same time. Because the life of the belt and the tensioner is almost the same, the life of the belt is up. For the sake of safety and saving money, they should be replaced at the same time.

If the formal belt is not abnormally worn, it is not obvious from the outside whether it needs to be replaced. In addition, the belt is covered by a cover and cannot be seen from the outside. So after the time and mileage are up, you can just replace it directly without inspection. Once the belt breaks, the engine will be damaged, the valves will be bent, and even the connecting rod will be bent, and the engine will need to be overhauled at a high cost.

The replacement cycle of the accessory belt varies greatly between different brands of vehicles. For the specific replacement time, please check the maintenance manual of your vehicle. It is also necessary to replace the belt tensioner and idler at the same time. Their service life is similar to that of the belt. Once the belt tensioner or idler is damaged, the belt may be damaged and the belt may break.

The accessory belt is not covered by a cover, and it is easy to judge whether the belt is aging by its appearance. There will be small cracks on the inner side of the aging belt. If there are too many cracks, it is time to replace it.
