Timing Belt Replacement

What Is a Timing Belt?

A timing belt is a crucial component in your car’s engine that synchronises the movement of the camshaft and crankshaft. It ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the right time during the intake and exhaust strokes. Without a properly functioning timing belt, your engine could suffer severe damage, leading to expensive repairs.

When Should You Replace Your Timing Belt?

Knowing when to replace your timing belt can save you from unexpected breakdowns. Some common timing belt symptoms to watch out for include unusual ticking noises from the engine, the engine misfiring, or oil leaks around the front of the motor. It’s typically recommended to replace the timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers, but you should always check your vehicle’s manual for specific recommendations.

Drive Belt vs Timing Belt: What’s the Difference?

Many people confuse the drive belt with the timing belt, but they serve different functions. A drive belt powers external components like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning, while the timing belt controls the internal movement of engine components. Both are essential, but the timing belt is more critical to the engine's function.
