The timing belt synchronizes your engine's camshaft and crankshaft. If it breaks, it can cause severe engine damage. We replace timing belts according to manufacturer intervals, typically every 60,000-100,000 km. We also replace associated components like tensioners and water pumps during the service.
Check belt condition and related components.
Remove covers and accessories to access belt.
Install new belt, tensioners, and water pump.
Verify timing and engine operation.
A broken timing belt can cause valves and pistons to collide, resulting in thousands of dollars in engine repairs. Replacing it on schedule is cheap insurance against catastrophic failure. It's one of the most critical maintenance items.
Follow your vehicle's recommended replacement interval religiously. Don't wait for symptoms—by then it's too late. Keep service records to track when replacement is due. Consider replacing the water pump at the same time.
