What is the function of a timing belt?

A timing belt synchronizes the rotation of your engine's crankshaft and camshaft(s). This ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the precise moments needed for proper combustion and operation.

What happens if a timing belt breaks?

If a timing belt breaks or slips, the synchronization between the crankshaft and camshafts is lost. This can lead to severe engine damage, especially in 'interference' engines where pistons can collide with valves.

Should I replace anything else when I replace the timing belt?

It's often recommended to replace the timing belt tensioner and idler pulleys at the same time as the timing belt. These components also wear out and can affect belt tension and alignment, ensuring a more reliable repair.
