SWISS MOTORS / 08THE DETAILS
Follow the schedule for your engine.
The timing belt synchronises the crankshaft and camshaft. If it fails, it can cause serious engine damage. Replacement is a scheduled maintenance task, with the interval set by the manufacturer for the particular engine.
Swiss Motors offers timing belt servicing in Mona Vale. The work involves replacing the belt and setting its alignment and tension. Related components, such as tensioners, idler pulleys or a water pump, may also need attention depending on the vehicle and the work required.
An unknown history is worth discussing.
If you have bought a used vehicle and do not have a record of belt replacement, tell the workshop. Have the make, model, engine, kilometres and any previous invoices ready. There is no single replacement interval or price that suits every car.
A LITTLE CLARITY
Your questions,
answered.
When should a timing belt be replaced?
Use the time and kilometre interval specified for your engine by its manufacturer. Intervals differ, so check the service book or call with your vehicle details instead of relying on a general figure.
Will the water pump also be replaced?
It depends on the engine and the work required. The workshop can discuss whether a water pump, tensioner or idler pulley should be included with the belt service.
Does every car have a timing belt?
No. Some engines use a timing chain. Provide your vehicle and engine details so the correct maintenance requirements can be discussed.
