The timing belt, often called a cambelt, keeps critical internal engine components operating in the correct sequence. Unlike brakes or tyres, it may give very little warning before it fails, which is why scheduled replacement matters so much.
Key things to know
- Replacement is based on time or mileage, whichever comes first
- A broken belt can cause serious internal engine damage on many engines
- Complete kits can include the tensioner, idler and guide pulleys, dampers and water pump
- Some engines use a timing chain instead of a belt
- A full service doesn't automatically include timing-belt replacement
- Used cars with no documented history may need preventative replacement
