Eg volkswagon has a timing belt and a pulley tensioner that make the car run if they go your car won't work. They are supposed to be replaces every 100000km and when you replace one you replace both of them along with the watercpump because the labour is expensive and you don't want to have to pay to do it again in a month

What are two types of pulleys?

There are two basic types of pulleys. When the grooved wheel is attached to a surface it forms a fixed pulley. The main benefit of a fixed pulley is that it changes the direction of the required force. Another type of pulley, called a movable pulley, consists of a rope attached to some surface. The wheel directly supports the load, and the effort comes from the same direction as the rope attachment.
