bamabob Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 How often does everyone replace belts and hoses? My 2016 manual says change belt every 150,000 miles, can't find anything on hoses. We don't put a lot of miles on our vehicles, more worried about age. We live in Southern Alabama where the summers are long and hot, cars parked in carport, no garage. My biggest concern is my wife's 2008 Sable. Only has 70,000 miles but it is 13 years old. Seems like age would have an impact just like miles.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 practically never hear of hoses being replaced unless they develop a leak. you can periodically check them to see if they are starting to soften. replace at that time. belts should periodically be inspected for microcracking. that and noise would prompt me to replace them sooner rather than later. had the ones on our Edge done at 10 yrs/120K miles, mixed driving. hopefully that is a useful barometer.

bamabob Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Thanks Perf for the response. Sounds like to be on the safe side I should replace the 13 year old belts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
