- 1 - the passage of the V-ribbed belt in a six-cylinder engine without air conditioning.
- 2 - so the V-ribbed belt in a six-cylinder engine with air conditioning covers various belt pulleys.
The replacement of the V-belt of a four-cylinder engine after 120,000 km must be taken seriously, because. If the water pump belt is broken, the engine overheats (coolant pump without drive). This is guaranteed to be noticed too late, because the defect is shown only by the coolant indicator light or the instrument. A driver with a six-cylinder engine does not need to be afraid of such defects: his water pump is directly driven by the engine's toothed belt.
Tip: The consequences of an engine overheating are costly: a defective cylinder head gasket or, in severe cases, a ruptured cylinder head, entail costly repairs. Therefore, when the coolant light comes on, immediately stop and see if the V-belt on the water pump and servo pump pulleys is in order. If not, tow the car!
