Belts and Hoses

Hoses and belts are parts that help maintain the health of various components of your BMW. These major parts would not perform the way they should if it weren't for the system of belts and hoses in place. This is why checking the condition of these parts on a regular basis is so important. Performing visual inspections of these parts is something you can easily do at home. When it comes to hoses, you should take a look to see if there are any cracks or holes in them that might be causing leaks. You also can feel the hoses to see if they feel soft or spongy. They should be firm but flexible when they are in good condition. As far as belts are concerned, you should be looking to see if they look like they are fraying or coming apart at all. The ribs of the belts might start to pull apart as they age. You can also listen for loud, abnormal noises that might happen when you start the car or as you turn. Of course, if you see leaks under the car, this is not a good sign either. Find OEM BMW replacement belts and hoses here at Online BMW Shop when the time comes to get some new ones.
