Issues With Serpentine Belts

Drivers who have issues with oil leaks may end up damaging their serpentine belts, which is one of the many reasons why it's important to get oil leaks fixed quickly. An antifreeze leak may cause similar problems, and it's just as important to get it repaired. The serpentine belt may slip as a result of these leaks. While serpentine belts can begin slipping for many reasons, the actual slipping itself is caused by reduced tension levels. The Germain Volkswagen of Columbus dealership has new serpentine belts. Furthermore, the technicians at the dealership can examine the belts in order to see if there are any problems or nearby leaks.
