Your Audi has many critical parts, and the serpentine belt is one of them. It is responsible for driving multiple systems, such as the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and more. As you drive, the serpentine belt becomes worn and will need replacement. Where here to provide some signs it might be ready to be replaced.
The signs include:
- Squealing or chirping noises coming from the engine, especially when starting the car or using accessories like the air conditioning
- Visible cracks, fraying, or missing chunks in the belt
- Fluid leaks, as a damaged belt may not be able to keep the engine's components properly sealed
- Battery lights or other warning lights appearing on your dashboard
- Loss of power steering assist or air conditioning functioning
