BELTS & HOSES

KEEP THE
SYSTEM MOVING.

Belts transfer power between engine accessories while hoses move coolant, air and other fluids throughout the vehicle. A worn belt or damaged hose can quickly turn into a major breakdown.

WHY THEY MATTER

SMALL
COMPONENTS.
BIG JOB.

Your engine depends on belts and hoses every time you drive. Belts can drive accessories such as the alternator, water pump or A/C compressor, depending on the vehicle. Hoses carry coolant and other fluids between major components.

TENSIONERS & IDLERS

These components help maintain proper belt routing and tension. A noisy or damaged pulley can affect belt operation.

HOSES / 04

MOVE
THE FLUID.

Engine hoses are responsible for carrying coolant and, depending on the vehicle, air or other fluids between different components. Heat, pressure and age can cause hoses to deteriorate.

01

SOFT SPOTS

Areas that feel unusually soft or weak during inspection.

02

BULGING

Swelling can indicate deterioration or internal damage.

03

CRACKS

Visible cracking or surface deterioration should be inspected.

04

LEAKS

Wetness or coolant residue around connections can indicate a leak.
