Signs of Malfunctioning Air Pump Belt in Your Audi
2
The air pump belt is a common emission component
found in many cars especially the older ones
equipped with V8 engines.
3
The air pumps purpose is to reduce emissions and
is usually driven by an engine accessory belt.
4
Moreover, the air pump belt in your Audi is made
up of rubber which will wear out and will
ultimately need to be replaced.
5
Here are certain signs associated with the
malfunctioning of the air pump belt in your Audi.
6
Cracks on the belt
7
Appearance of cracks on the belt is the first
visual sign that the air pump belt needs to be
replaced.
8
In due course of time due to the constant
exposure to extreme heat from the engine, cracks
will develop on and at the ribs of the belt.
9
Cracks are permanent damage to the belt that
weakens its structural stability which makes the
belt more susceptible to failure.
10
You must inspect the air pump belt from
time-to-time for cracks, large chunks missing or
scuffs along the outside.
11
Rubber missing from belt
12
As the air pump belt begins to wear it will also
give rise to other problems in your car.
13
One of the most common problem is that it will
weaken your belt to a point where entire chunks
of rubber can break off.
14
Any places along the ribs of the belt where the
rubber has broken off are considered weakened and
the places along the belt where it is more likely
to occur.
15
Whenever the air pump belt malfunctions, then it
has a direct effect on the AC of your Audi.
16
Scuffs along the outside of the belt
17
Another prominent sign of excessively worn out
air pump belt is scuffing along the edges or
outsides of the belt.
18
Mostly it is caused due to the misalignment of
the belt on the pulley or by contact with some
sort of debris or component of the engine.
19
In addition to this, some scuffs may cause
threads from the belt to come loose.
20
Loose threads along the edges or outside surface
of the belt are obvious signs that the belt
should be replaced in your Audi.
