It is never pleasing to listen to a noise from your car you don’t know where from. Thus what if you identify a serpentine belt noise that lasts on your Volkswagen Touran? It is extremely plausible that this is a unimportant problem, but before being sure, it is better to carry out some investigations. If this belt noise comes from your serpentine or driving belt, our team has written a document to support you locating and solving it. First, we will look at the serpentine belt noises on your Volkswagen Touran and then we will look at the origins of these noises.
I encounter noises from serpentine belt Volkswagen Touran
The best method to check the state of your belts is to listen to your car. Immediately after you detect noises such as squealing or bells, you should take a closer look to check their source. The job of the serpentine belt or driving belt of your Volkswagen Touran is to transmit the movement of the engine to the secondary components that it will supply with energy. Like steering, air conditioning, water pump. Its role is therefore vital in the normal operation of your car. The serpentine belt is said to be asynchronous, i.e. unlike the timing belt, it has the capacity to drive different engine components at variable speeds.
I listen to squealing noises on my serpentine belt Volkswagen Touran
This kind of squealing belt noises on Volkswagen Touran, which will often be acute, can commonly arise when the engine is cold, or when the acceleration increases in intensity. . This kind of noise must be heavy and it is normally quite simple to link it with one of these belts. To check, do not hesitate to open your bonnet, engine running cold and check the source of this noise, the serpentine or driving belt being exposed, it should not be too difficult for you to identify a belt noise on your Volkswagen Touran. The reason of this problem can be related to the damper pulley, which works as a damper to reduce irregularities in the tension in the motor cycle and therefore in the energy transmission to the belt. This results in a loose belt that will jerk. However, you still have an opportunity that this event is annodine. As the serpentine belt of your Volkswagen Touran is exposed, it may squeak due to excessive humidity due to weather conditions and it may end with a change in conditions. Remember to check the state of your belt (crack, crack), if this is the case replace it, otherwise simply tighten the belt.
I listen to loud serpentine or driving belt noises Volkswagen Touran
Just like squealing, a driving belt noise on your Volkswagen Touran that sounds like a loud grinding sound can tell you a lot about its state. It is therefore essential that you look further and locate the cause for this sound that can signal the end of your belt’s life. Like squealing noise, it can be identified in most cases when cold . It generally means a worn pulley whose streaks no longer allow it to be driven correctly. Other possibilities, the dynamic belt tensioner or the disengageable pulley of the alternator may be at the source of this problem. Make sure you check first the serpentine/driving belt which in most cases is the reason of this problem, otherwise it will be necessary to replace the tensioner or pulley.
I listen to bearing noises on the serpentine belt of my Volkswagen Touran
Finally, if in your case you recognize a bearing belt noise on Volkswagen Touran, it is plausible that it is related to a serpentine belt that is too tight . Indeed, it is plausible that its size may be smaller than recommended and cause the entire system to overvoltage, resulting in this whistling noise or slight rolling noise. The problem in this case is that the bearing bearings or the Damper pulley may fail . Remember, therefore, to stretch the belt to limit the risks or to swap it if it is too short. If after checking all thoses possibilities, you still identify a belt noises, read our article about timing belt noises on Volkswagen Touran which could maybe help you.
