The cracks seen here on the inside of the serpentine belt can spell Trouble!

A cracked engine drive belt can lead to your car being stranded while driving and possibly damage the engine itself or its components.  The engine drive belt is what keeps your air conditioning compressor turning to keep you cool, keeps the power steering pump turning and also keeps the alternator charging the battery to keep up with the electrical demands while driving.  A belt coming apart can not only damage these components from impact, but can also lead to overheating.  One of the factors of drive belt wear and cracking is intense heat and age.  A way to help monitor your drive belt’s condition is routine inspections of your complete vehicle at every oil service.
