Most vehicle owners know of the major
parts or components of a vehicle that should be inspected during a car
service, such as oil changes, tires, transmission, and brakes. However,
two seemingly insignificant components often get overlooked until they
fail, resulting in an inconvenient and costly car repair.
Small,
but important--Belts and Hoses!

Belts and hoses are
critical to the interior heating system, electrical system, and engine
of your vehicle. The recommended replacement intervals of these small
parts should not be taken for granted or neglected during routine car
service. Don't let them leave you stranded by the side of the road with
unexpected leaks, cracks, and breakage. This can be especially dangerous
when driving in temperatures that are below freezing.
* Timing Belt – The timing belt keeps the crankshaft and camshaft
mechanically synchronized to maintain engine timing. Whether it's the
serpentine, V-belt or fan belt (the belts on the outside of the engine),
they all transmit power from the front of the engine to accessories
that need to be driven, such as the heating system, air conditioning,
and the charging system and fans.
* Hoses – Hoses carry coolant to and from
the engine, radiator and heater core, as well as heated water to your
car's interior heater. This is what keeps the interior of your car warm
when it's freezing outside.
Schedule a car repair as
soon as possible when you see these signs of wear and tear on your
vehicle's belts and hoses:
* Fluid leaks on your
garage floor
* Dashboard light flashes
* Squeaking
noises coming from under the hood during start-up, or while driving.
