Belts And Hoses

They might not be as obvious, but some of the most useful parts in your Mercedes are usually the belts and the hoses. Although they are hidden under the hood, they perform vital functions. The belts are made with elastic or fiber adaptable materials that allow them to connect parts of your car and be flexible when powering components. You have a serpentine belt which essentially drives power to different areas of your vehicle and keeps your engine working well. The timing belt helps to open and shut valves as needed so parts of the engine operate in time with one another. On the other hand, car hoses are utilized in vehicles to transport liquids. You should make sure to replace these components as soon as you notice any damage to them. You might be able to inspect these parts yourself and catch problems early. Belts might have started to fray or come apart, or hoses can start to develop cracks or holes in them. This can cause leaks to appear under your car, or you might hear loud squealing noises in the case of a worn belt. Shop OEM belts and hoses here at Mercedes Benz Parts Shop.
