First of all, it is definitely not a good thing to say that the belt is broken, especially if the car is put on the road, it will definitely catch fire, so as an insignificant mass, I also feel understanding.
But the reasons need serious and objective analysis. How is it broken, how to avoid such problems, and then what other problems need to be paid attention to and prevented in advance.
I checked the official information of the manufacturer, and the maintenance project mentioned above is related to the engine belt, which is called the transmission belt replacement project.
First of all, you need to do a simple science popularization and buy a car to go back. Doesn't mean that all parts can last for ten or eight years. Of course not. We can roughly divide automobile parts into three categories. One is the engine and gearbox, which will not be broken for life. For example, we can call it a durable part. The other is generators, pumps and batteries, which will reach their life in a few years, or will be aged or worn out and need to be replaced regularly. And things like filter elements and belts can also be classified into one category, which can be called consumables.
For example, we print documents, printing paper and ink are consumables, and belts are such consumables.
Chery manufacturers recommend checking and replacing the drive belt every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. These drive belts include generator belts. As mentioned earlier, the mileage of bad riders with generators has been nearly two years, with a mileage of 60,000 kilometers. According to the online time, the actual mileage exceeds 20,000 kilometers.
Specifically, the generator belt is broken and needs to be replaced in time. First of all, the belt is a rubber part. As we all know, the rubber part will be tired after working all the time, and it will be damaged by high temperature and corrosion in the environment. After a long time, it may break down. If your car environment is corrosive, you may need to replace the belt earlier than others.
This also reminds me that I didn't pay attention to this matter before, so I rushed forward without losing the wheel. So now after research and study, my advice to you is to maintain it according to the manufacturer's regulations and replace the generator belt every two years or 40 thousand kilometers. According to my experience, this kind of small belt is actually very cheap, about tens of dollars each. In addition, I interject a personal opinion. In fact, the mileage recommended by the manufacturer is still relatively conservative. Theoretically, it's okay to have a little more mileage than the mileage stipulated by the manufacturer, but don't overdo it. As long as it is broken, it will be very troublesome. A belt costs only tens of dollars, and the working time will be 180%.
Another point is that there is obviously a certain probability of defects in automobile parts produced on a large scale, such as belts. Even if the yield reaches 99.99999%, there is still the possibility of problems. Therefore, it is better for everyone to replace it earlier. In addition, there is a good habit. Everyone asks the master to check the belt for every maintenance.
For example, if the belt is loose, you can also let them tighten it by the way, without spending money. If the belt is too loose, it will affect the transmission, or it will slip, and the chirp will be annoying and degraded. If the belt has cracks and hidden dangers, replace it in advance.
Besides, according to my experience, the belt didn't break suddenly. For example, my old car was replaced by a synchronous belt in a factory. Later, when I changed it, I found burrs on the edge of the belt. It is estimated that it will break down after a while.
So this means that the broken belt still gives you some time to deal with it, and you should check it in time.
In addition, by the way, I would also like to talk about the timing belt. Timing belt is the driving belt in the engine, which is very important.
Fortunately, Tiggo 8' s 1.5T and 1.6T generators all use timing chains, which are theoretically maintenance-free and much better than timing belts. However, if your car is of other models, such as some old models, and the engine uses a timing belt, you must replace the timing belt in time. The manufacturer's suggestion is to replace it every 40000 kilometers. It's no joke that the timing belt is broken. We need to open the engine cylinder to repair the generator, which is equivalent to medium repair.
Besides, we should remember one thing. When replacing the timing belt, we must also replace the water pump. Remember, this is a lesson that I spent thousands of dollars on. Because the pumps of many cars are connected by synchronous belts, when the pump reaches its service life, its failure is usually due to the bearing sticking. After the bearing is stuck, the timing belt will be pulled off directly. Yes, that is to say, if you don't replace the new water pump with a synchronous belt, maybe you just changed the synchronous belt for 10 thousand kilometers and the water pump broke your new belt. And at the same time, your engine valve will have a great chance of tilting, so you need to open the engine for repair, which is equivalent to medium repair. You can't get it without thousands of dollars.
In addition, when replacing the timing belt, the related wheels should also be replaced. You can't just change the belt. The wheels don't have much money anyway. The main reason for changing the synchronous belt is that the working hours are expensive and there are not many materials. If the wheels are not changed, the belt will run out when there is a gap between the wheels, and the belt will rub against the cover outside the timing belt, and the belt will soon wear out, and then the engine will be repaired.
End of the full text. I wish you all a pleasant journey.
