About Fan Belt & Timing Belt

If your fan belt starts slipping - you will definitely know when you hear the squeal!!, it may not be tensioned properly. 

At best this could result in your battery going flat through not being recharged, and at worst, it could fail to operate your cooling fan, resulting in serious and expensive damage due to the engine overheating.

The timing belt connects upper and lower engine parts, and is usually hidden from view under a plastic cover. 

If this belt breaks your car either runs very poorly, or the engine may "seize", causing extensive damage. Check you handbook to find out what the recommended interval is for changing the timing belt, and stick to it!
