Below are some of the most common warning signs that it’s time to replace the Belts and Hoses Bloomington IL on your vehicle. Without a doubt, these are not components that you should put off replacing until they break.

-Strange sounds. When it comes to belts, squealing or chirping sounds are the most typical signs of a problem. They usually indicate a damaged or loose belt. Do you hear the squealing sound when the heat or AC is on? If so, they might also need belt replacement.

-Visible signs of wear. In some cases you might be able to spot damage to your car’s hoses when you open the hood. Look for cracks or holes in the hoses. However, many of your vehicle’s Belts and Hoses Bloomington IL are not easily accessible without knowing where to look. Our service techs can do a visual inspection for signs of wear.

-Leaking fluids. Noticing spots forming on your driveway where you normally park your vehicle? A broken or loose hose could be the cause. While leaking fluids can come from many areas, it usually comes from a failing gasket or pan. However, it could be a coolant leak coming from a faulty hose.

-Timing belt. Generally, most vehicles require a new timing belt after approximately 80,000 miles. However, if you don’t put that many miles on your car, consider replacing the timing belt after about five years. A visual inspection by our service technicians is usually the best way to determine if a timing belt is due for replacement. That typically involves removing a few engine components and examining the belt for tears, cracks or other signs of wear.
