Genuine Toyota OEM Belts and Hoses

What belts do in Toyota & Scion vehicles is move auto parts mechanically -- everything from the crankshaft to those that start and steer, not to mention those that heat and cool. Serpentine and drive belts, for example, move alternator and power steering parts, among others. Timing belts (or timing chains), on the other hand, help turn the engine's camshaft, which helps valves and pistons stay moving in sync. Even climate control systems and fans have belts; they work with the serpentine belt to move their various parts.

What hoses do, however, is move auto parts using hydraulic or liquid pressure. Radiator hoses, for example, transport coolant between the engine and the radiator. Heater core hoses, for another example, push hot coolant through the heating system, warming the cabin. In older Toyota and Scion models, fuel hoses connect the gas tank and engine, while brake hoses send brake fluid to the brake calipers. Air intake hoses, though, help oxygenate the engine and regulate its oxygen-to-fuel ratio. There are even hoses for PCV valves, oil coolers, and more.

Is your Toyota or Scion having trouble running right? Is it disabled? Worn belts and hoses might be the causes. Signs that may be true include:

• Visible looseness or damage
• Screeches or chirps
• Fluid leaks, either around a hose or under the vehicle
• Battery and interior lighting problems
• Engine issues, such as misfires, overheats, and failed starts
• Complete systems failure

How often you need to change a belt varies by mileage and your maintenance schedule. Most hoses, though, you should replace at least every 4 years. Your timing chain, however, ought to last the lifetime of your engine.
