What is an Engine Belt?

- Prevent Breakdowns & Ensure Safety: Avoiding sudden power steering failure in Toronto’s downtown traffic or highway driving.

- Cheaper than repair: An engine belt replacement fee beats a $3,000 engine repair.

Signs That Your Lincoln Engine Belt Needs Replacement
Engine belt replacement intervals may different by model and driving conditions, but most Lincoln vehicles require belt inspections every 97,000 km (check your owner’s manual for specifics). However, Toronto’s extreme winters and frequent stop-and-go traffic can accelerate wear. Watch for these warning signs:
- Squealing Noises: High-pitched sounds under the hood often mean a slipping belt.
- Check Engine Light On: While not exclusive to belts, it may on if belt components malfunction.
- Visible Wear: Cracks or fraying on the belt.
- Power Steering or AC Failure: A bad belt may cause weak air flow and stiff steering
- Burning Smell: A slipping belt creates friction and heat, often producing a distinct burning odor.
