Timing Belt

Timing Belt

At around the 100,000km mark, most cars need the timing belt replaced. If your vehicle is reaching that amount of mileage, please contact a car mechanic Perth from us.

First off, what is a timing belt? Not everyone who has a car knows that this part is, or what it does.

A timing belt is a part of the engine. It also plays a role in the normal functioning of the crankshaft, the drivetrain, and the cam. The component forms the central part of the system and is usually invisible under the hood. However, it fulfils a crucial mechanical function.

If it breaks, your car becomes immobile. It may even damage other parts in the process. Only in rare instances will it break after a warning. Most of the time, it just snaps without any prior sign of a problem.

If you happen to be on the road at the time…well, you will need to call a mobile car service Perth.

Different car models and manufacturers have different timing belts. Consequently, they recommend getting the belt replaced with a fresh one at various times. The one they all agree on is that it is ill-advised to exceed that distance because it increases the risk of the belt breaking.
