The timing belt (also known as cambelt) is an essential component of any car. Its purpose is to ensure the car engine valves are open and close at exactly the right time. All car manufacturers will advise when a timing belt should be replaced. We advise having your timing belt replaced at the recommended intervals to ensure it does not fail. A worn belt can cause major damage to your engine which will result in a replacement engine being needed.
As well as ensuring your timing belt is in good condition, it is also important to make sure the tension correct. Incorrect tension, too loose or too tight can cause damage to the belt which will decrease its lifespan.
