Drivebelt, multibelt

[kimpis]

Hi.

Sorry if the topic name isnt the correct one.

Anyway, I had my 2011 superb elegance 2.0tdi 140hp 4x4 at the repairshop for a 12000 km service 2 months ago.

Now though, I have a squeeking noise on the right side of the eninge (faced from the front) that follows the revs of the enginge.

I suspect the multibelt that drives the ac compressor amongst other things.

 

I called to get this fixed, but now I wonder, is there only one belt exept for the cambelt? Or is it two?

And what does the belt(s) power?

I'm aware that there can be something else sqeeking, the repairshop will oversee all them things.

 

Regards

There are two belts, the cambelt and the auxiliary belt which drives the alternator and aircon compressor.

 

The cambelt typically drives the mechanical side of things, so the water pump and oil pump could be driven by the cambelt.

So, all but the ac compressor and alternator is driven by the cambelt then?

I believe so. The oil pump maybe shaft driven directly from the engine, but the water pump is usually always driven by the belt.
