Your Nissans motor depends on various complicated, interrelated parts that help you enjoy that smooth Nissan Rogue ride you love! Some parts are linked by a series of belts, one of which is called the Serpentine Belt.
The Serpentine Belt is a sturdy, cyclical strap that transmits power through and to the alternator, power steering pump, car A/C compressor, and, sometimes, the water pump. Some people refer to the Serpentine Belt as a fan or accessory belt because it powers the peripheral devices in your Nissan engine. But, dont underestimate its importance.
Serpentine Belts are generally made of tough-but-flexible rubber manufactured to withstand the challenges of transferring power from one part of the engine to the next. But, like other car parts, Serpentine Belts are subject to wear and tear.
Serpentine Belts can fray, crack, or even peel with age, or they can act up if soaked with oil or coolant. Additionally, they can slip, lose tension, or become misaligned because of faulty tensioners, which may require replacing both the Serpentine Belt and the tensioner, or simply re-tensioning the belt, if its still in working order. Common signs of Serpentine Belt issues include: rattling or squealing sounds coming from the engine, lackluster A/C or power steering performance, engine sweltering, and visible signs of wear on the belt.
Typically, your Nissan Rogue Serpentine Belt is one of your most long-lasting parts, but its life can be cut short due to lack of maintenance, oil leaks, and other issues. You should get your Rogue Serpentine Belt inspected when you change your oil, or get a professional opinion from one of the Nissan experts at a service center near you.
The required method for a Serpentine Belt replacement varies depending on the type of tensioner mechanism it relies on. Consequently, its best to check your Nissans manual before replacing the Serpentine Belt yourself.
Unsurprisingly, itll involve a Serpentine Belt with proper fitment for your Nissan model, and a belt tensioner tool. Remember that if your Nissan has a manual or hydraulic Serpentine Belt tensioner, getting a Serpentine Belt replacement at a Nissan service center near you is highly recommended.
When youre ready to get started, take a photo of your Serpentine Belts current positioning and of how it winds around the motors different parts. Then, detach the tensioner using a ratchet and gently unwind the Serpentine Belt, avoiding displacing any pulleys or accessories.
Once youve removed the old Serpentine Belt, check it for signs of engine oil or coolant leaks, cracks, and breakage to pinpoint issues that go beyond-the-belt! Thread the new Serpentine Belt back into place and release the tensioner, using a wrench to tighten it to the appropriate level. Finally, turn your Rogue on and let the engine idle while inspecting its operation to ensure it runs smoothly.
