Belts and hoses are small items in a vehicle when compared to parts like the planetary gear shaft or the catalytic converter. However, without these small parts the vehicle systems would all break down. For emergency repair of a radiator hose or monitoring of the wear and tear on the fan belt, make an appointment to work with your local team at NK Motors.

As there are so many belts and hoses in your vehicle it can be hard to keep them all straight. In order to help our clients understand which belts and hoses do what, here is a short glossary of some of the most common belts and hoses.

Coolant Hoses: Connects the radiator and the engine to cool the fluids.
Serpentine Belts: Run several functions of the vehicle such as the air pump, water pump and alternator.
Timing Belt: Controls the opening and closing of various valves in the engine.
V-Belt: Most common belt in the car, named after the v shaped grooves in the belt.
Fan Belt: Draws air into the radiator.
