Car fanbelt

[mickyilly]

Is the timing belt the same thing as the fanbelt or cambelt?!

[Bill D]

same as cambelt, different to fanbelt.

[Dr Wu]

timing belt is the same as the cambelt (it's also a chain in some cars)

Fanbelt is quite different and far cheaper to replace!)

[woodchopper]

Fan belt is nowadays called an auxillary drive belt - provides power for likes of water pump and power steering on some cars.

[Toureman]

As Woody says, very few cars have a fanbelt as the fan is driven by electricity.
