The timing belt performs the function of controlling the synchronization of the crankshaft and camshaft, thereby allowing the engine valves to open and close at the correct time while the engine is running. Just like many other components of a vehicle, the timing belt also goes through wear and tear.
Therefore, timing belts need to be replaced at the intervals recommended by the manufacturer of your car or else the engine can get damaged.
Look out for these symptoms of a bad or failing timing belt:
The engine does not ignite.
The engine backfires.
- Rough idling and acceleration
- Squeaking noise coming from timing belt cover.
Detection of problems in a timely fashion is important to avoid the timing belt getting broken and damaging the vehicle. Our technicians can carry out inspection and replacement of timing belts.
