Genuine Honda Belts And Hoses

Honda Belts and Hoses: What You Need to Know

There are almost as many of them under the hood of a Honda vehicle as there are major automotive systems. Their job is to move auto parts the way they're supposed to move.

The Types of Belts and What They Do

Generally, three: serpentine, drive, and timing. They move parts in the alternator, power steering pump, AC compressor, and other systems and turn the engine's crankshaft and camshaft to synchronize its valves and pistons. In short, they move parts mechanically, using other parts.

The Types of Hoses and What They Do

There are many -- too many to name. They move parts in the brakes, radiator, air intake, plus positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valves and the oil cooler. They do it hydraulically -- namely, using liquid pressure.

The Signs They're Going Bad

• Your vehicle not running right
• Complete disablement

Get a better idea of exactly what's happening by looking for the following symptoms:

• Loose or visibly damaged hoses or belts
• Screeching and/or chirping noises
• Fluid leaking from a hose and/or under the vehicle
• Your battery and interior lighting malfunctioning
• Your engine misfiring and/or overheating
• Systems failures
• The inability to start the vehicle

How Often They Need to be Changed

This depends on mileage. Check your owner's manual for more info. Most hoses, you replace every 4 years or so.
