The many moving parts in your Subaru vehicle reply upon belts, hoses, or both to help them perform their roles. The more parts your vehicle has, the more belts and hoses it needs.
What Do Belts Do?
You have three kinds of belts under the hood. Your timing belt helps the crankshaft turn the engine camshaft and synchronizes the movement of the valves and pistons. If it breaks, your engine will stop running. If your model is newer, though, it may feature a more durable timing chain instead.
The two other two belt types are serpentine and drive belts. Serpentine belts work with your tensioner, crank pulley, and idler pulley to run such parts as the alternator and power steering. Drive belts run off the crank pulley and help manage parts like your water pump. If either of these goes bad, you typically have a small window of time to resolve the problem before things escalate.
What Do Hoses Do?
Hoses are responsible for directing fluids to and from parts such as the radiator and engine. In this case, coolant flows from the radiator to the engine and then back again, keeping the engine running at the right temperature.
What Are the Signs of Belt or Hose Failure?
They include:
- Overly loose or slack belts
- Belts that are too tight
- Fraying belt edges
- Cracked hose material
- Large puddles of liquid under your vehicle
