Mitsubishi Belts And Hoses

Open the hood on your Mitsubishi and you’ll encounter a maze of belts and hoses. Originally installed at the factory, they move and connect the many parts and systems at work. A timing belt turns your camshaft, opening and closing the valves in sync with the engine’s pistons. When the timing belt fails, your engine will stop working. As in, right away. A serpentine belt, also called a drive belt, delivers power to important components like the power steering, air conditioning compressor, water pump, and alternator. You can still drive your vehicle if one of these belts break or wear out, but you don’t want to wait long for repairs. If you do, you risk driving problems. Hoses are important, too. They connect your radiator, fuel lines, air conditioning and more. Hoses tend to wear from the inside, hiding problems until they crack or break.

Trust Genuine Mitsubishi Belts and Hoses

If your Mitsubishi is running rough, consider checking the belts and hoses. Look for visible signs of damage or looseness. Keep an ear out for strange noises. If you experience any of these, replace the belts at once. Otherwise, check your Mitsubishi owner’s manual for your vehicle’s maintenance schedule. In general, belts and hoses need to be replaced on different schedules. Failures occur with belts most often after the third year, or 36,000 miles. Hoses last a bit longer and should be replaced every four years or 50,000 miles. When you’re ready to order a new set, do so from the comprehensive selection found at our online auto parts center.
