Timing belt replacement

The timing belt is an important element of the power train. It transmits the drive from the crankshaft to the camshaft. When it brakes, especially in a diesel engine, it may cause serious damage. This is why you should strictly observe the replacement schedule. If you discover any damages to the belt, you should have it replaced as soon as possible. You should have the rollers, tensioners and the water pump replaced together with the belt.

Tips

  • Observe the belt replacement schedule provided in the car user guide
  • A good idea when you buy a second-hand car is to immediately replace the timing belt in its engine
