Timing Belt Replacement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cars used to use timing chains. Many of the manufacturers have replaced the timing chain with a timing belt. The belts are crucial for making sure the engine runs smoothly. It works with the valves, pistons, camshafts, and crankshaft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These components must work precisely, or the engine can be damaged. This is why the timing belt must be in good working condition. Since the timing belt is made from rubber, it will wear out over time and fail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most car manufacturers have a timing belt replacement or timing chain replacement schedule in the maintenance manual. It is often recommended that you replace the belt at 90,000 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car belt replacement is not something you should wait to have done. The belt will eventually break. When this happens, your car will not run. If your vehicle has an \u201cinterference engine<\/a>,\u201d the breaking belt can cause internal engine damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drive Belt Replacement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The drive belt is also known as the serpentine belt. The belt is located on the engine and works together with the idler, tensioner, and pulleys. As the belt turns, it provides power to the air conditioning, water pump, power steering pump, and alternator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drive belt is a critical component that is needed for your car to run. When the belt fails, your car will not start. Manufacturers often recommend that the drive belt should be replaced every 50,000 miles or five years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To determine the serpentine belt replacement service schedule, consult the owner’s manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
