When should a timing belt be replaced?

While the maintenance of a timing belt depends on the make and model of a vehicle, typically, timing belts should be replaced every four to five years, or between 40,000 and 100,000 miles.

Is a timing belt the same as a cambelt?

A timing belt and cambelt are the same, and may be used interchangeably when talking about vehicles.

How do I know if my timing belt is failing?

An obvious sign of a worn timing belt is a clicking or ticking sound coming from the engine. Abnormal sounds while accelerating, such as screeching or whirring, may also indicate that the timing belt needs replacing.

Can I replace a timing belt myself?

It is possible to replace a timing belt yourself with the proper tools, and ideally a strong mechanical knowledge. We recommend getting it fitted by a professional to ensure accurate installation.
