Your car’s timing belt is one of the most important components in its engine, and it needs to be serviced regularly to keep your car running smoothly. Most carmakers recommend that you service your timing belt every 100,000 kilometres or so, but it’s important to check your owner’s manual to be sure.
If you don’t service your timing belt as scheduled, you could be in for some serious engine trouble. The timing belt keeps the engine’s valves and pistons in sync, and if it breaks, those parts can collide and cause serious damage. In some cases, a broken timing belt can even cause your engine to seize up.
A sign that your timing belt may need to be replaced or serviced is if your car’s engine is making strange noises, it could be a sign that the timing belt is wearing out. If your car is hard to start, or if the engine stalls frequently, that could also be a sign of a timing belt problem. If your car’s “check engine” light is on, that could indicate a problem with the timing belt.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have us check over your vehicle as soon as possible to have the timing belt checked. If it does need to be replaced, our specialist technicians will be able to guide you through the process and get your vehicle back on the road safely. It’s important not to wait too long, as you could be in for some much more serious and expensive engine damage if the timing belt is allowed to go unserviced.
