Part of owning a vehicle from WESTGATE MITSUBISHI is making sure that you keep up with regular maintenance and service of your vehicle. There are various belts and hoses that are part of this maintenance. Let's look at some of the components you should have regularly inspected and serviced at our service center:
-Coolant and heater hoses are made from flexible rubber that can become worn out or damaged over time. They should be inspected and replaced as needed.
-Accessory belts can become damaged from ongoing exposure to heat, oil, pollution and friction. All belts that are showing signs of wear should be replaced to prevent further issues with the vehicle.
You can spot issues with belts and hoses by looking for:
-Cracks, tearing and splits in the material
-Glazing on the sides of the belts
-Layers may start to separate within the belts
