Genuine Toyota Belts and Hoses

There are numerous moving parts and systems in your Toyota vehicle, each of which depends on either belts or hoses to keep them running right.

The Three Types of Belts

Your timing belt is the notched belt that connects the crankshaft and the camshaft. It helps them move in sync, while also keeping parts from crashing into each other. If it goes bad, your engine will stop almost immediately.

You also have serpentine belts, which team with the tensioner, idler pulley, and crank pulley to move parts such as your power steering and alternator. Drive belts are the last kind. These run off the crank pulley and help maneuver the water pump and other components. When serpentine and drive belts break, you've got a small period of time to address the problem.

What Hoses Do

Hoses are responsible for routing liquid to and from parts, keeping them lubricated and cool. Your radiator is an example of one such part, as hoses connect it to the engine.

How to Spot Failing Belts and Hoses

Eventually, belts and hoses can start to go bad. Signs of trouble include:

• Loose or slack belts
• Cracked hose material
• Overly tightened belts
• Frayed belt edges
• Pools of liquid collecting under your vehicle
