The timing belt or cambelt as it’s also known is a very important part of your engine. As in other places, in Atherton, timing belts can cause serious damage to your engine (and your finances) if you don’t ensure that they’re functioning well. It is a toothed rubber belt which controls the rotation of the crank-shaft and the camshaft. This belt controls the timed opening/closing of cylinder valves and regulates the correction engine combustion. It also keeps these very fast-moving parts apart. That’s why damage to the timing belt can cause widespread problems in your engine. In general the life-span of timing belts is between 50-90,000 miles. Some cars have timing chains, but they are more expensive and noisier.
Replacement of timing belts in Atherton can be challenging if the garage is inexperienced. The exact position of timing belts varies with different models and makes of vehicles. If you need assistance with your timing belts, contact us today. Our trained mechanics can locate and fix it quickly and efficiently. Customers have to be aware that the actual cost of replacement may not be very high. What does add to costs is the damage that other parts may have sustained because of the faulty timing belt. Since timing belt problems occur with little or no warning, we recommend that customers get their cars serviced regularly.
