Local Volkswagen Certified Serpentine Belt Replacement in Houston, TX

Your engine turns chemical energy into torque that turns your wheels, but it also runs several other components in your car. It does this through the serpentine belt, a long belt that runs over a series of pulleys that drive these other components. When your serpentine belt starts to get too worn, it can snap and stop running these components, which can lead to many problems for your car. Volkswagen Clear Lake is here to offer our serpentine belt replacement service to avoid those problems.

What a Serpentine Belt Does

The serpentine belt is named so because it “snakes” up and down around many pulleys. These pulleys run the alternator, the air conditioning compressor, and sometimes the water pump, among other systems. The serpentine belt is a key part of making sure your battery has charge, keeping your air cool, and sometimes even keeping your engine at proper temperatures. This vital part runs constantly while your engine runs, so it takes a lot of wear as it works.

Serpentine Belt vs Timing Belt

Serpentine belts and timing belts are very different parts of your car. The serpentine belt, as mentioned, drives other systems via pulley from your engine’s torque. The timing belt is a part of the engine that synchronizes the firing of the cylinders with the opening and closing of the proper valves for fuel, air, and exhaust inside your engine. While both are vital components of your car, replacing your serpentine belt will only keep those separate systems moving and protected from belt failure.
