The fan belt is an important stuff that provides the power for different ancillary devices in your car engine. Thus, a defective fan belt can result in loss of power to the accessories. As it keeps operating until the car engine is shut off, hence its failure could lead to an unsafe situation during the ride. Without proper diagnosis, you canu2019t determine the cause and fix the issue. And if you are an amateur, then you canu2019t diagnose the issue on your own. Hence, it is advised to consult a certified car technician both for diagnosis and replacement of the fan belt.

HUMIDITY If the humidity in your area rises, then don’t check the belt immediately.
Reason behind is, moisture in the air can cause the belt to act up or slip.
FROZEN PULLEY Older cars have disconnected AC units or smog pump issues.
As a result, it is very easy to confuse a stuck pulley with a bad fan belt.
WET SURFACES Sometimes drive the car through a large puddle is very hard.
It’s common to freak out at the moment which is wrong with the car.
DAMAGED TENSIONER PULLEY Damaged tensioner pulley is misdiagnosed as a bad fan belt.

MISALIGNED PULLEYS In some cases, one or more of pulleys is misaligned and stretch more.
It happens when the alternator doesn’t seat back into place correctly.
