Volkswagen Golf Drive Belt Catalog

The Volkswagen Golf drive belts of old have been replaced by low and no maintenance serpentine belts. The advantage of this new design is the reliability and the reduced number of trips a car owner must make to his local car repair shop. While the serpentine belt is more durable and less likely to break, it can still deteriorate. All of your Volkswagen Golf belts should be regularly inspected and repaired. Whenever you notice signs of wear and tear, you should make it a point to replace the belts as soon as possible. Don't be stranded because you failed to make Volkswagen Golf drive belt maintenance a priority.

The Volkswagen Golf drive belts should maintain the correct amount of tension through the automatic tensioner, but the belt can be stretched. If the Volkswagen Golf drive belt becomes stretched, it can cause slippage that may not be as noticeable as the older V-style belts. Determining whether or not your belt is slipping may require revving the engine. If you are checking your belt for signs of stretching, it is also a good idea make sure there is no belt wobble. If you do notice Volkswagen Golf drive belt wobble, your pulley may be damaged.
