Yes, a weak o r slipping alternator belt can cause charging problems in a Honda City. If the belt is worn out, loose, o r broken, it will not rotate the alternator properly, leading to insufficient charging of the battery. Signs of a failing alternator belt include squealing noises when the engine is started o r when accelerating, and sometimes visible wear on the belt itself. Honda City owners should inspect the alternator belt every 10,000 to 15,000 km and replace it if any signs of wear are visible. Regular inspection can prevent charging issues and help ensure the alternator functions properly.
