Your car is a complex machine that uses various types of belts and hoses to ensure proper function. Your timing belt, serpentine belts, and coolant hoses are three items that you should pay attention to.
The timing belt's purpose is to drive the camshaft to a crankshaft. This item makes sure your engine's crankshaft, camshaft and distributor are functioning properly. You'll notice fraying, worn teeth or engine backfiring if there's a problem. Coolant hoses transport antifreeze throughout your engine, and you can spot a problem with this item by checking for soft or brittle spots, splitting or cracking. Finally, serpentine belts deliver power from the crankshaft to your engine's accessories. If this belt is damaged, your power steering or charging capability may stop working. Signs of damage include splitting, cracking, slipping and squealing.
Don't take any chances with these important pieces of your car. Stop into Lincoln Fairfield in Fairfield, CA today and get your car's belts and hoses inspected by a licensed technician.
