Diagnosing belt drive and cooling system problems
Expensive, inconvenient repairs can be avoided if you know where and how to look for potential issues. Gates has developed simple-to-use fault diagnosis guidelines to inspect accessory belts, timing belts, tensioners, torsional vibration dampers, overrunning alternator pulleys, hoses, thermostats, water pumps and pressure caps and to establish why a component failed so that the right corrective action can be taken.
This information will help you detect a belt drive or cooling system component that is past its service life and prevent premature failure, so you can keep customers on the road.
