A cambelt or timing belt is an integral component of your engine and if it snaps or gets too worn it can be expensive and complicated to fix. The cambelt synchronises your engine to make sure it works properly. Manufacturers recommend that it’s changed every 40,000 to 60,000 miles to help protect your car’s engine from costly repairs.
The cambelt is in the middle of your engine and has teeth which help to grip and turn components. It is made of rubber and therefore can wear over time and eventually snap, causing your engine to break down. There are a number of signs that your cambelt has broken, the main one being that your car won’t start when you turn the ignition. A ticking noise, engine misfiring and oil leaks can also be signs that your cambelt is broken.
When it snaps, your engine will go out of sync and can cause serious damage if you don’t get it repaired quickly. Our trained technicians have years of experience replacing cambelts and know what to look out for if they suspect this is what is causing the problem. We’ll inspect your engine and if you need a cambelt replacement then we’ll be able to help you.
