Belts and hoses are the unsung auto parts that keep many of the accessories and systems in your car functioning as expected. The timing belt, for example, synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. Without this synchronization, the engine wouldn't work. Our Steve Schmitt Auto Credit team in Troy looks at other belts and hoses worth noting.
The Serpentine Belt
Coiling around the front end of your engine, the serpentine belt assists the power steering pump, the air conditioning compressor and the alternator. Our Steve Schmitt Auto Credit service team experts recommend having the serpentine belt, other belts and hoses inspected during routine oil changes.
Cooling and Heating: Hoses
Hoses expedite the efficiency of your vehicle's cooling and heating systems. Whether water, fuel, coolant or other critical fluids, hoses convey all of these fluids. In some vehicles, a hose connects the power steering pump to the power steering gear, making this convenient feature work smoothly and reliably.
