Here at Maui Auto Care, we offer inspection, repair, replacement, and maintenance to a variety of automotive belts and hoses. Here is a list of the different types of hoses and belts in a motor vehicle:
The serpentine belt and other drive belts: A serpentine belt is a single and continuous belt that powers your climate control, alternator, power steering, water pump, and air conditioning compressor with energy from the crankshaft.
Timing Belt: The timing belt in your car works by helping turn the camshaft of your vehicle’s engine. It helps coordinate the rhythm of the engine pistons and valves.
Other Belts: Other types of belts in a vehicle include the power steering belt, fan belt, alternator belt, A/C belt, and more. They work with the serpentine belt in the car to drive their respective parts.
Radiator Hoses: The role of the radiator hose is to carry coolant between the car’s engine and radiator. They are made of strong rubber. Radiator hoses can withstand significant temperature changes since the coolant absorbs the heat produced by the car’s engine and then is cooled by the radiator.
Fuel Hoses: It is a type of hose that connects the fuel tank to the car’s engine in older vehicles. Fuel hoses are made to withstand exposure to fuel.
Heater Core Hoses: The primary role of the heater core hoses is to carry hot coolant through your climate control system to make sure that your cabin is warm.
Other Automotive Hoses: Other automotive hoses include air intake hoses, brake hoses, power steering hoses, the PCV valve hose, the oil cooler hose, etc.
