Belts And Hoses

Various parts of your BMW rely on the operation of the belts and hoses under the hood to keep them running efficiently. Without the system of belts and hoses, there would be a lot of issues with operations of larger, expensive parts. Timing belts are what help engine parts operate in sync, opening and closing valves when necessary and working with the crankshaft and camshaft. Serpentine belts power parts of the engine. Hoses help send coolant to areas so they don't overheat. All of these individual parts are pretty important. Timing belts aid in rotating your car's camshaft, triggering the movement of the engine's valves and pistons. Alternatively, the serpentine belts help to supply power to various components such as AC compressor, power steering pump, and the cooling fan, among several others. Some belts and hoses connect to the radiator, power steering, heater, air conditioner, and fuel lines. Although occasional repairs and regular maintenance services go a long way in keeping your hoses and belts in tip-top condition, their effectiveness is compromised over time. Stay on the look out for typical signs of faulty hoses and belts and get OEM BMW replacements when needed. You can find them here on our site.
