When should I replace my timing belt?

Timing belts typically need replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or every 5-7 years, depending on manufacturer recommendations and driving conditions. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for the specific interval for your model.

What happens if my timing belt breaks?

If a timing belt breaks on an interference engine, the pistons can collide with the valves, causing severe internal engine damage. This can lead to costly repairs. On non-interference engines, the engine will simply stop running without causing internal damage.

Does this timing belt come with other parts?

This Gates timing belt (Part# T228) is sold individually. It is recommended to also inspect and potentially replace the timing belt tensioner and idler pulleys at the same time, as these components also wear out and can affect belt performance.
