Inspect Belts and Hoses Monthly Replace worn, glazed or frayed belts. Tighten them when more than ½" of slack can be depressed between the pulleys. Vehicles with spring loaded belt tensioners require no adjustment. Replace bulging, rotten or brittle hoses and tighten clamps. If a hose looks bad, or feels too soft or too hard, it should be replaced. Belts and hoses are one of the main causes of major engine failures due to overheating. Check your belts and hoses every oil change and replace them at 50,000 to 60,000 miles depending on condition. Timing Belt Maintenance In simple terms goes like this. There are basically two types of engines. One type is known as a non-interference, this means if the timing belt breaks the engine is able to free wheel without damaging the internal parts. The other type is known as the interference engine, this means if the timing belts breaks the piston can make contact with the valves, resulting in severe damage. Either way, it is important to maintain a good timing belt. Most cars recommend replacing the belt at every 60,000 or 90,000 miles depending on the vehicle manufacturer.
