Your vehicle’s engine drive belts and cooling and heating system hoses keep many components of your vehicle working the way they should. For example, your vehicle has several radiator, cooling system, and heater hoses that carry coolant through the engine, heater, and radiator. If the hose fails, your engine will overheat, and you also may experience heating and defrosting issues. Likewise, most vehicles have one to three (sometimes four) engine accessory drive belts. When any of the belts fail, you can lose a critical vehicle function: Your engine can overheat, you can lose battery charging ability, or you may be unable to safely handle and drive your car. This is why we recommend having your car’s belts and hoses inspected every time you have your lube, oil, and filter changed. Regular inspections are critical. Sometimes you can hear the squealing sound of a belt going bad, but hoses can fail without warning. Every 7-plus years, or 100,000 miles, they should be serviced and replaced as needed.
The winter weather in Cleveland is tough on our vehicles. Belts and hoses are no exception. They are exposed to heat, cold, friction, and chemicals that lead to deterioration and need to be inspected carefully for signs of wear and corrosion. The team at Rad Air Medina will thoroughly inspect your belts and hoses and remove any damaged components. New hoses and belts will be fitted to ensure they function properly. This easy and quick service is not complicated, but it should be handled by a qualified technician as part of your regular car maintenance.
