Belts

There are many different components in your Kia that you should be checking on a regular basis, and your belts are one of them. Your vehicle contains several types of belts that all perform specific functions that are crucial to maintaining the health of your vehicle. Your serpentine belt, for example, helps transport power to some of the major parts of your car (like the alternator and power steering). If it wears out or needs replacement, a range of other components may not function properly either. The timing belt ensures that several engine components are working in sync - so if this fails, your whole engine can be thrown off. You don't want engine parts to collide with one another. You can check the condition of the belts yourself and check if there is fraying occurring or ribs coming apart. You also might start to notice other symptoms, like loud screeching or squealing sounds coming from under the hood. You might start to notice reduced engine power or loud metallic noises that could indicate collisions of metal against metal. It's important that you are using OEM belts for your Kia that will fit the make and model perfectly. Browse replacement belts today so you can keep all parts under the hood running smoothly.
