Well, I know when a tire on my car needs to be replaced when there is no tread left on it. What are YOU referring to
How do you know if it needs to be replaced
it goes out and your heat will be gon
when the air does not comes out cold in your ac will be a good time
Have it looked at by a professional transmission specialist.
You will not know. Just replace it every 50,000 miles.
If its leaking or has been bent or crushed it needs replacing.
It is probably not a belt, but rather a chain
It will become noisy and you may experience poor performance.
Replace it every 50,000 miles and then you won't have to guess.
Look on the back side of the serpentine belt (the side of the belt with the ribs). If any of the ribs are cracked the belt should be replaced. Take a look at the physical condition. If it is cracked on the inside (groove or V side) it needs to be replaced.
After five years it needs to be replaced.
Just replace it every 50,000 miles or if you suspect it is clogged.
