Your car’s drive belt transfers power to critical moving components. It powers the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning, and often the water pump. That’s why a good drive belt is essential for both the power output and cooling of your vehicle.
The drive belt of your car should be inspected for wear at every scheduled service. Replacing it at the first sign of damage can avoid a potentially dangerous failure. If your drive belt is noisy or you suspect it is worn, have it checked by a Natrad technician.

Most vehicles have just one serpentine belt. If this belt breaks, the car will stop running. Parts connected to the belt could be severely damaged. It's essential to have the car's drive belt inspected and tensioned regularly. Your vehicle's serpentine or fan belt should be replaced periodically.
Natrad supply serpentine belts from Optibelt, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance drive belts. Optibelt combines German engineering precision with the latest technology to supply durable drive solutions for over 26 makes of car available in Australia.
Optibelt's pioneering technology includes the first automotive belt with a visual wear indicator. The RBK SCC v-ribbed belts wear to reveal red markings as the belt approaches the end of its service life. These markings enable you to check for wear at a glance, without the need for tools.
Your local Natrad store can supply and fit these replacement high-quality serpentine belts to your vehicle.

Your drive belt (also known as an alternator belt, fan belt, or accessory drive belt) is one of the most crucial elements in your engine. It powers the AC, the power steering system, the cooling system and the car’s electrical system.
If it breaks, or becomes contaminated or wears out, your car’s engine can be significantly damaged. It may lead to a sudden loss of power to the steering system, and cause the engine to overheat.
If you hear a rattling sound or elements within your car’s engine, like the AC or radio, stop working, get a specialist to check your drive belt straight away.
The drive belt can wear, crack, fray or disintegrate as it ages. You may experience slipping or squealing that indicates the belt isn’t running smoothly. The serpentine belt also needs to be replaced if it becomes contaminated by fluid or it becomes misaligned. The ‘check engine’ light may come on, or you may experience performance loss.
A Natrad technician can check and tighten your drive belt or provide a serpentine belt replacement if required.
It’s a good idea to have your car’s belt drive inspected annually. Ask your Natrad technician to check the drive belt of your vehicle when you have your annual cooling system inspection done right before summer.
Yes, we do. Natrad installs belts from Optibelt that meet your vehicle’s specifications. These belts meet the same standards as original equipment quality or better. These durable belts will provide your car with a quiet, cost-effective, and long-lasting drive solution.
If you have mechanical experience, you can replace the serpentine or fan belt yourself. This job is relatively easy to perform on old vehicles. It can be a little more complicated to carry out on modern or front-wheel drive vehicles due to the placement of the engine and tight working space.
If you aren’t sure, have a Natrad specialist technician replace the belt for you. You can rest assured the serpentine belt will be correctly installed and tensioned.
