Lexus Belts And Hoses

Your Lexus has tons of moving parts. Its original belts and hoses help move nearly every one of them. Hoses take care of the job with liquid pressure. A couple good examples are your radiator hoses and heater core hoses. The first carries coolant between your radiator and engine. The second forces hot coolant through your AC and heating systems, helping warm your cabin. Other examples include fuel hoses and brake hoses. The former are mainstays of older Lexus vehicles; they connect your engine and gas tank. The latter sends brake fluid through your brake lines to your brake calipers, making them press your brake pads to create the friction that slows and stops your wheels and tires. Belts, on the other hand, move parts mechanically. They do the job for everything that starts, steers, heats, and cools your vehicle. Your crankshaft is one of the most important parts they help move. Your serpentine and drive belts, however, move parts in systems like your alternator and power steering, whereas your timing belt or timing chain spins your engine's camshaft, pumping both engine valves and pistons. Many other belts and hoses do a lot more right off the Lexus factory line. Signs of problems with them, however, are many. They range from visible looseness and damage, chittering or squealing noises, and fluid leaks to battery and interior lighting issues, engine misfires and overheats, and general systems failures. The result of bad belts and hoses is inferior vehicle performance, if not complete disablement. Luckily, you can order both belts and hoses right from Lexus, via our auto parts counter.
