Part: Alternator
Operation: How the car service belt works.

In this video tutorial we can see how the service belt is made, what it is for and when it is necessary to replace it. The timing belt is responsible for the proper functioning of the engine; it is similar to the timing belt but serves a completely different purpose, in fact the timing belt is used to open and close the valves, while the service belt turns the alternator which recharges the battery; It also operates the power steering, air conditioning compressor and sometimes even the water pump. If the timing belt breaks, the damage is more limited than with the timing belt. It is important that all belts are in good working order for the vehicle to function properly. To replace the timing belt, refer to the vehicle's use and maintenance booklet, because each manufacturer has its own maintenance periods.
