Question for any car experts/mechanics.
I had my serpentine belt changed at about 168,000 miles in the summer of 2018. The car now has 190,000 miles, and I was told that the car needs a new serpentine belt. Looking online, I see that the general consensus is that the car should last 60,000 miles-100,000 miles. However, I saw another source that said 4-6 years.
Not opposed to changing it if it needs it, but is it realistic that a car could need a new belt after only 28,000 miles? (Actually, it was 3,000 miles ago that I was told this, so only 25,000 miles).
Thanks.
