The belts and hoses in your vehicle are integral to your engine's cooling, charging, and air conditioning systems.

​

There are two primary belts in your vehicle: the timing belt and the serpentine belt. The timing belt controls the camshafts in your engine, opening and closing valves at just the right time for smooth operation. The serpentine belt, also known as the drive belt, powers crucial components like the air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, and cooling fan.

​

The hoses link various components such as the radiator, heater, fuel lines, air conditioning, and power steering. Crafted from flexible rubber, the hoses are designed to absorb the vibrations inherent in driving.

​

Regular inspection of these components is essential, as various factors can lead to their deterioration over time. Additionally, harsh climates and environmental elements such as heat and dust can accelerate wear and tear on hoses. Despite their sturdy appearance, the hoses can be deceptive, often wearing out internally before showing signs of wear on the outside.
