I recently bought an Audi A5 and I'm not sure when the serpentine belt was last changed. How can I check the condition of the serpentine belt and replace it if necessary? Are there any specific tools or techniques I should use? Thanks in advance.
ReplyInspect your serpentine belt for any signs of cracks, fraying, or wear. If you see any damage, it's time for a replacement. You can also use a tension gauge to check the tension of the belt. As for replacing the belt, you will need a serpentine belt tool and a diagram of the belt routing. Make sure to follow the recommended torque specifications for your specific Audi A5 model.
Make sure to use a genuine OEM serpentine belt for your Audi A5. And when installing the new belt, make sure it sits in the pulley grooves correctly to avoid slipping or squeaking. If you're not confident in doing the job yourself, it's best to take it to a professional mechanic.
