I went to get my oil changed and the mechanic said that my v belt and my serpentine belt are recommended to get changed. What exactly do these belts do? About how much do they cost to replace? Will i know when one of them goes out if i wait to replace it? Thanks
V and Serpentine belt in my Dodge neon?
They are two types of belts that do the same thing-drive the various things that cars have on them-AC compressors, alternators, airpumps, power steering pumps, and sometimes even vacuum pumps.
Being rubber, they have a limited lifespan, and should be replaced about every 3 years.
