OEM Belts and Hoses

Different Belts and Hoses in Your Vehicle

Belts and hoses play a critical role in your vehicle’s various systems. They help transfer power, drive components, and transport fluids throughout the vehicle.

Serpentine Belt

Also known as the drive belt, the serpentine belt winds around the alternators, power steering pump, AC compressor, and water pump. It transfers power from the engine to these components.

Timing Belt

The timing belt synchronizes the rotation of the engine’s crankshaft and camshaft to ensure the engine’s valves open and close at the correct time.

Radiator Hoses

These connect the engine to the radiator, allowing coolant to circulate and dissipate heat.

Heater Hoses

Heater hoses supply hot coolant from the engine to the heater core, enabling the heating system to provide warm air for defrosting.

Fuel Hoses

Fuel hoses carry gasoline and fuel from the fuel tank to the engine.

AC Hoses

Air conditioning hoses carry refrigerant between the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and other components of the AC system.
