Pilling
Pilling is dust that forms in between the ribs of the accessory drive belt from rubber that is
worn off the accessory drive belt when it is new. There may also be loose particles left on
the accessory drive belt during the manufacturing process. These are worn off and form
into small balls of rubber that then get trapped in the grooves of the accessory drive belt.
This condition will usually clear itself within 4800 km - 8000 km (3000 miles - 5000 miles)
of normal driving.
3. 3. Check the accessory drive belt for pilling. The condition of the accessory drive belt
should be compared against the illustration.
