Belts and Hoses

A variety of the components inside your BMW rely on the operation of your belts and hoses for them to function properly. This is why it's so important to check the condition of these parts on a regular basis so that you can make replacements to them before more serious problems develop. When it comes to any of the belts under the hood of your vehicle, there are some signs to look out for so you know if you need to replace them. Loud, squealing noises coming from the belt should signal you to get the part looked at right away. You can also take a look at your belts and see if there are notches or ribs pulling apart. When it comes to your car's hoses, one of the warning signs that you need to get a new one is leaking fluids. Your radiator hose is likely faulty if you notice green colored fluid underneath your vehicle. Your car can also overheat more frequently if your hose is malfunctioning. The belts in your car play an important role, from your serpentine belt sending power to your alternator and power steering to your timing belt allowing your crankshaft and camshaft to run in sync with one another. The hoses are equally as important, transferring fluid to different parts of your engine as needed. It is important to check the various belts and hose sin your BMW and get them replaced when they begin to show signs of wear and tear.
