Exposure to heat, vibration and
contamination makes belts and hoses wear out faster than any other
components in your car. That's why regular inspections are so important.
Here are the belt and hose types in your car, along with their
applications.
Accessory Drive Belts
While some accessories in your
car are electrically powered by the charging system, others use the engine
itself as their power source. The power for these accessories is delivered
by a system of pulleys and belts. Examples of these accessories are:
Alternator
Water Pump for engine cooling
Power Steering Pump
Air Conditioning Compressor
Radiator Cooling Fan
Many late model cars use a
single serpentine belt in place of individual belts to drive these
accessories.
Hoses
The hoses that convey your
car's fluids are made of two rubber layers with a layer of fabric in
between. Typical hoses include:
Radiator and Heater Hoses -
These hoses convey coolant to the engine and heater core.
Fuel Hose - As the name
implies, this hose transports gasoline from the tank to the engine.
Power Steering Hose - It
connects the power steering pump to the steering gear.
