Mazda Belts and Hoses

Curious about how your Mazda belts and engine hoses work? They are essential components for the reliable functionality of your car, crossover or SUV.

What Engine Belts & Hoses Do for Your Mazda

There are two main drive belts for your engine. The timing belt, and the serpentine belt. Timing belts are designed with teethed grooves on the bottom of the flat side of the rubber belt. These grooves are spaced evenly because they help keep the alignment of your pistons and valves opening with one another to draw forth the correct ratio of fuel and oxygen for combustion by the spark plugs. The serpentine belt is also made of heat-resistant rubber and it intertwines through a system of engine pullies that connect to your alternator. It helps power the alternator which charges your car battery.

Engine hoses are made of a similar type of high-grade rubber. They help transfer the fluids through your engine which help maintain temperature and lubrication.

When to Replace old Belts or Hoses for Mazda?

Usually after 100,000 miles is when you should have your hoses and belts inspected for quality. If you visually see cracked or brittle rubber, fluid leaks, fraying, or tearing of either your belts or hoses, seek replacement ASAP. Doing so earlier on can reduce the chance of a total breakdown. If you hear unusual screeching noises after starting your car, it may be a damaged belt.
