Genuine Kia Belts and Hoses

Open your Kia vehicle's hood and you'll find a complex assembly of factory-installed belts and hoses. Put simply, belts help parts move while hoses deliver liquids to parts.

Types of Belts

There are three. The timing belt turns the engine camshaft, opening and closing the valves in rhythm with the engineÕs pistons. If the timing belt fails, your engine will stop running. If your car, SUV, or MPV is newer, it may be equipped with a more durable timing chain instead.

Serpentine and drive belts help move such parts as your alternator, power steering parts, water pumps, and more. Unlike a timing belt, you have an opportunity to fix the problem the matter if these fail -- but you donÕt want to wait long to undertake the job. If you do, you risk more significant problems developing.
