There are many critical parts to a vehicle that contribute to the way it operates, and one of those components is your vehicle's serpentine belt. It is important to understand what the serpentine belt does and when it will need to be replaced to avoid a broken one unexpectedly.

What does the Serpentine Belt do in My Porsche?

How Long Does a Porsche's Serpentine Belt Last?

Your vehicle's serpentine belt should last between 50,000 to 100,000 miles your vehicle has been driven. Due to prolonged exposure over time to heat and friction, your belt can wear down and need to be replaced. This is one of your vehicle's parts that our Porsche certified technicians will check when you bring it in for maintenance, especially if you have noticed any issues.

Signs of a Failing Serpentine Belt in Your Porsche

When a serpentine belt begins to age and wear down, its rubber parts may start to peel off which will cause the belt to crack, slip, or fray at the ends. When this happens, it can cause the tension required in the belt to loosen and not reliably power the core components it's responsible for.

If your serpentine belt begins to chirp or make a squealing sound, this means the belt is slipping. If you notice cracks or wear and tear in the belt, it is time to bring it in for an inspection by our certified mechanics. If the many parts of your vehicle, such as the air conditioner or power steering, that are powered by the serpentine belt begin to break or fail to work properly, you should have the belt checked and possibly replaced. If your serpentine belt completely breaks, it can cause your vehicle not to run at all, which means you could end up stranded in the middle of nowhere. That is why you should have the belt checked when you have regular maintenance done to your vehicle.
