BELTS AND HOSES
| BELTS AND HOSES |
WHAT IS IT?
YOUR CAR'S BELTS AND HOSES ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE COOLING, AIR
CONDITIONING AND CHARGING SYSTEMS AND THE ENGINE. DON'T
TAKE THESE ROUTINE REPLACEMENT INTERVALS FOR GRANTED
BECAUSE THEY CAN BREAK DOWN AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
THE TIMING BELT KEEPS THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT
MECHANICALLY SYNCHRONIZED TO MAINTAIN ENGINE TIMING.
WHETHER 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 AIR CONDITIONER, THE CHARGING SYSTEM AND FANS.
RADIATOR AND HEAT HOSES CARRY COOLANT TO AND FROM THE
ENGINE, RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE.
