Timing Belts / Cambelts should be checked and changed (if necessary) according to your Car or Vans recommended mileage & time periods. This can stop potential catastrophic engine failure to engines if these checks are not adhered to.

The usual failure modes of timing belts are either stripped teeth (which leaves a smooth section of belt where the drive cog will slip) or de-lamination and unraveling of the fiber cores. Breakage of the belt, because of the nature of the high tensile fibers, is uncommon. Correct belt tension is critical - too loose and the belt will whip, too tight and it will whine and put excess strain on the bearings of the cogs. In either case belt life will be drastically shortened. Aside from the belt itself, also common is a failure of the tensioner, and/or the various gear and idler bearings, causing the belt to derail. Our trained Technicians will be able to spot these tell-tale signs BEFORE any damage is caused.
