Belts

When we are talking about the belts in your Subaru vehicle, we are talking about the serpentine (also know as the drive belt) and the timing belts. Both perform important jobs when it comes to running your vehicle. The serpentine belt brings the power to just about everything that is connected to your engine. These items are the air conditioning compressor, cooling fans, air injection pump, power steering pump, the crankshaft and the alternator. Then we have the timing belt. The job of the timing belt is to regulate the engine's valves so they open and close at the correct times. Think about what could happen if either of these belts break! This is why it is so important to check these belts for signs of cracking and excessive wear. The engine in your vehicle gets very hot and over time it can show on your belts. When a belt breaks it can damage the entire engine so by checking your belts you can save yourself a whole lot of damage. It is also important that your belts stay at the right amount of tension, not too tight or too loose. The right amount of tension allows them to work properly. When you find your belts in need of replacing be sure to purchase the best on the market. The best for your Subaru vehicle will be genuine OEM belts.
