80,000, the timing belt needs to be replaced.In addition, the timing belt needs to be cared for so that it is durable and long lasting even though it has a lifetime.AutoFamily can perform maintenance on this one component when performing routine services at the nearest Auto2000 repair shop.Also read: Here's How to Care for and Protect the Timing BeltThe fan belt or also called the fan belt functions to move and connect the components in the car, especially when the car engine is turned on.This component works by moving or transmitting power from the engine to the drive pulley, such as alternator, air conditioner, water pump, power steering, and so on).When the car engine is turned on, the fan belt is in charge of connecting a number of these components.Components that get energy supply from the fan belt rotation will work to produce movement when the car is running.The presence of a fan belt is very crucial, so it must always be in good and prime condition.Without a fan belt, the car engine cannot move.To prevent the fan belt from breaking or being damaged when the car is in use, you must take care of it regularly so that it is durable and long lasting, especially when performing routine services at the Auto2000 repair shop.There are several signs that the fan belt must be replaced immediately to avoid various risks, ranging from the fan belt starting to feel brittle, loose, looks thin, and the surface is cracked.To find out its condition, take your car to the Auto2000 repair shop when the car has reached the 25,000 - 30,000 km mark.GET INTERESTING PROMOTION TOYOTA NEW RUSH ON AUTO2000Timing belts and fan belts are located in vehicle engines with very crucial functions.Have almost the same name, but these two components have different roles.Let's take a closer look at the differences between timing belts and fan belts below.The way the timing belt works is to regulate the combustion time and the process of opening and closing the valves on the car engine.Meanwhile, the fan belt works to provide energy from the car engine to several components such as alternators, compressors, fans, and so on.Also read: 4 Ways to Overcome a Noisy Car Fan BeltThe timing belt is serrated so that the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft is aligned, because it relates to the time when the valves open and close.The timing belt installation process should not be arbitrary, because each pulley has a special mark.If the wrong installation, then the car engine will not start.For that, leave this important task to the experts, namely reliable technicians at the Auto2000 repair shop.The fan belt itself has a pointed shape at the ends.This belt has a shorter shape compared to other types of drive belts, so if there are additional components to be moved, they must add a pulley line and install the fan belt yourself.The timing belt is located inside the engine to keep the crankshaft and camshaft connected, because they have to work at the same time as closing the engine valves.The fan belt is inside the car engine too, it just works to connect the crankshaft to components that are outside the car engine, such as the compressor and air conditioner to provide energy, so that these components can work smoothly.The replacement of these two components can be seen from how intensely AutoFamily uses the car.The timing belt usually has to be replaced if the distance of the car is at least 50,000, while the fan belt has reached 25,000.However, the process of replacing these two components is flexible, depending on the conditions.If AutoFamily has heard a squeaking sound when the car is in use, it means that these two belts need to be replaced, either together or separately.Also read: 5 Signs of a Timing Belt Must Be ReplacedWell, that's the difference between a timing belt and a fan belt that AutoFamily needs to understand, especially knowing their functions and how they work.Do not let the timing belt and fan belt wear out, because it will make other components work less than optimally.For that, always do regular car maintenance to check these two components regularly in Auto2000.AutoFamily can make online bookings through Auto2000 Digiroom to avoid long queues.In addition to providing car maintenance services, Auto2000 has complete information about the latest Toyota car prices on its official website, such as prices, interiors and exteriors of the Toyota Sienta.Interested in having a family car that has this sliding door feature?Call Auto2000 now!The information in the content of this article may undergo changes and differences, adapting to developments, situations, business strategies, technological advances and certain policies without prior notice.The largest Toyota dealer in Indonesia, which serves a network of sales, maintenance, repair and supply of Toyota spare parts spread throughout Indonesia.Cookies Policy Cookies are small data files that your browser places on your computer or mobile device.With cookies, the Site can remember your actions and preferences from time to time so that the Company can improve the quality of Company services.The information is used to track site visitors and compile statistical reports on Site activity.For more information about cookies, please visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.Some views of the Site may not work if you delete cookies on your browser.If you do not enable cookies, you will not be able to access certain important functions or features of the Site and may only use the Site on a limited basis.Contact us You have the right to correct and delete your personal data including further information regarding your use of the Site and transactions.If you need further information or there are complaints and complaints, you can contact the Company through the Get Advised Feature available on the Site.If your question is not answered online, you can call us at 1-500-898.​​​​
