BELTS AND HOSES

Your vehicle has a number of different belts and hoses that help to keep certain systems running smoothly and to keep fluids circulating throughout. Belts will naturally wear down over time due to normal use and hoses can be damaged when exposed to extreme temperatures. We recommend having your vehicle’s belts and hoses inspected regularly and repaired when needed to avoid a snapped belt or cracked hose. At ABR Houston, your European repair specialists in The Woodlands near Houston, TX, our Master technicians are highly experienced when it comes to BMW, Audi, Rolls-Royce, MINI, and Volkswagen vehicles.

A regular inspection of your vehicle’s belts and hoses can sometimes identify any worn-out belts and pullies or corroded hoses before they break and cause damage to your vehicle. Belts can sometimes break due to surrounding oil leaks, but not show any warning signs to the naked eye. This is why it is important to have your vehicle’s belts replaced, and oil leaks repaired any time we suggest it. A broken belt, for instance, can cause damage to your vehicle’s engine that can be very costly to repair. A leak from a hose can also cause corrosion and breakdown of critical vehicle components.

The following symptoms can indicate an issue with a belt or hose in your vehicle:

• Belt Squeal
• Grinding noise while driving
• Low coolant light
• Lack of power
• Leaking fluids
• Vehicle “slipping”
• Vibrating while driving
