Belts And Hoses

From the alternator to the engine, belts and hoses connect most of the components of your Lexus. Timing belts help parts of your engine operate in sync, serpentine belts deliver power to these parts, and coolant is pumped through radiator hoses to keep your engine at the perfect temperature. Hoses need to be of the highest quality as most components can fail critically should they become disconnected. Brakes require hoses and pipes to transfer the hydraulic oil from the brake pump to the calipers. If any of these components fail, larger issues could occur, so keep an eye for anything unusual. Aside from warning lights on the dashboard of your Lexus, other indicators of hoses rupture or leak are puddles of coolant, oil, windshield cleaner or water underneath the vehicle. Some of the belts do not have clear signs of wear and tear and are usually replaced in set intervals specified in the manual. If you hear squealing from underneath the hood, the typical culprit is either a loose or worn out alternator belt. Belts snapping can be a serious and engine-totaling issue, so make sure to avoid it by replacing them with OEM parts.
