Belts & squeals
Squealing when you start the car or turn the wheel? Hector replaces worn belts where the car is.
This job isn't drawn in Fig. 1, but Hector does it where the car is, like everything else here.

Questions & answers
- What happens if a belt breaks?
- Depending on the car, you can lose charging, power steering or engine cooling. If a belt snaps, stop driving and call or text Hector.
- Is a squeal always the belt?
- Often, but a worn pulley or tensioner can squeal too, so it's worth checking them along with the belt.
