Timing Belt Replacement
Why Timing Belts Fail Without Warning
Unfortunately, there are no clear-cut signs that a timing belt is having trouble. It often happens suddenly without warning. Therefore, it is imperative to change this engine part after passing a particular mileage or time period. An average recommendation is between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, or every 4 years — but always refer to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.

Our Advice on Timing Belt Changes
- ✓Go for a full kit (pulleys, tensioner & timing belt), not just the belt alone
- ✓Replace the water pump at the same time — it saves labour costs
- ✓When buying a second-hand car, change the timing belt immediately unless you have proof of a recent change
- ✓Don't delay — a snapped timing belt can mean a complete engine rebuild
