I wonder if you will often open your engine cover and take a look. As a consumable piece, I believe everyone should touch the engine belt.
A belt, under normal circumstances, 80,000 kilometers need to be checked and replaced. If you drive more violently, you should check it out. If you drive more honestly, you should check it out. If you are more honest and steady, you only have to change it.
Engine belt is also a high-speed operation component, it is responsible for driving several things
First: generator
Second: air conditioner pump
Third: water pump
If your car steering system is still hydraulically assisted, then the power pump of the steering machine is also driven by it. Of course, most of the cars nowadays are electronically powered, and there are very few hydraulics. Where does the source power of
drive come from? Of course it is the engine's crankshaft. As soon as the crankshaft rotates, the belt also rotates, and the components connected to the belt also rotate.
Now let me talk about some issues that few people are concerned about. First of all, automobile manufacturers will not invest in building factories to produce parts such as belts.
Because it is not the core component of a car company, the core R&D direction of a car company is always the heavyweight thing like engines and transmissions. If other components can be purchased from the outside, purchase them from the outside. Not to mention rubber products such as
belts, let alone out. When it comes to outbound purchases, we have entered the topic of this article. Since the belts of automobile companies are purchased from outbound, can we also purchase them ourselves? Instead of going to 4S to repair the accessories they provide?
answer is of course OK, but before buying it, you should try to figure out one thing? Which companies do these car manufacturers buy belts? I'll give an answer to
, because I'm a product of accessories, which is what I want to say today. I recommend several big brands to you, and their products are sold to these large car companies.
In general, I would like to talk about two Japanese brands, one: Samsung, two: Sakato; there is a big German brand: Continental belt, the first recommendation of the American series: Gates
Samsung: This Samsung is not the other Samsung, its English name is Mitsuboshi, does it look very similar to Mitsubishi ? It is called Samsung. The large parts of the belt of Toyota are purchased from Samsung. There is also one: Bando, Sakato. The belts of these two companies can cover almost all Japanese brands.
Then there is Continental: Don't think Continental only has tires, Continental belts are also very famous. European car companies, from Mercedes-Benz , BMW , Audi , Porsche , down to Volkswagen, Skoda , Opel , French PSA, Renault , all use their belts.
Then there are also famous belt manufacturers in the United States, that is: Gates, the same name as Bill Gates.
Let’s talk about the price, let me take Samsung belt as an example, and the general price is between 80-120
So how much does the so-called original authentic 4S store sell? I also compare the prices of several models
Crown/ Reizhi : 208
Crown/ Corolla : 223
Camry/RAV4: 476
Domineering 4.0: 416
A belt is basically several hundred yuan. If you buy a Samsung brand, it can be cheaper at least 70 to 80 or 80, and the more it can be cheaper at most. Moreover, Samsung is also Toyota's original belt supplier.
Then comes the question of where to buy. These brands have agents, and basically all localities recruit agents, and their customers are all for after-sales service agencies, that is, some maintenance units.
In fact, you can also find these agents. Compared to 4S, it can be cheaper to buy by yourself. The information of
agents can be logged into their official website, and then the Internet. These brands have their own flagship stores, identify the official flagship stores and avoid buying fakes.
, I can only say so much, I hope it will be useful to you.
Thank you!
