Timing Belt Replacement Service

What is the Timing Belt?

The timing belt is a rubber belt that is responsible for synchronizing functions within your engine. It makes it work and prevents complete breakdowns out on the road. The timing belt is what controls the camshaft and crankshaft, the opening and closing of all the many valves stored in the engine to let air flow in and out when it needs to – timing is key. When your timing belt breaks, the valves in your engine open at the wrong time and cause serious damage to your car.

When to replace it?

On average, the lifespan of a timing belt is about 60,000 to 100,000 miles. That’s a large range. And unfortunately, most are not aware of timing belt issues until the belt is near failure anyways.
However, some overlapping signs are as follows:

• Ticking noise in the engine
• Engine stops turning over
• Misfires
• Oil leaks from the motor

Getting your car regularly serviced is a pretty good preventative measure to ensuring there are no surprise car breakdowns or engine failures. By having your timing belt inspected by certified professionals like those at Vern Eide Honda, you’re giving your car the attention and service it deserves. Replacing and servicing the belt when it needs it is a lot less costly than the amount of other damage a broken timing belt can cause.
