Timing Belts and Timing Chains
Timing belt replacement in Huddersfield.
A timing belt, also known as a cambelt, is an essential part of your vehicle’s engine. The function of the timing belt is to ensure that the crankshafts and camshafts are synchronised and when not working properly can lead to serious engine problems.
At Five Star Autocentre, we provide a comprehensive timing belt service, so you can rest assured that we will play a big role in keeping your engine, and your car in excellent condition.
Should I get my Timing Belt replaced?
When it comes to replacing your timing belt, every car manufacturer provides a specific mileage or age limit where this action should be undertaken. Generally between 40,000 and 100,000 miles or 4-5 years is the suggested time to replace a timing belt.
The purpose of this replacement is to minimise the risk of breakdowns and the high cost of repair that is normally associated with this type of work. The limit of your car will be stated in the owner’s manual but if you cannot find your manual, get in touch and we will be happy to provide you with more information.
We will do our best to provide you with the recommended schedule for replacing your timing belt, and we can even offer an estimated costing, with no obligation to buy, based on the registration number for your car.
What is I have a Timing Chain?
Some vehicles use a timing chain rather than a timing belt and both carry out the same purpose. The advantage of a timing chain over a belt is that the timing chain issues a warning when there is a problem.
At FiveStatr Autocentre we are experienced in working on both Timing Belts and Timing Chains and can assist you with any questions or queries you may have.
No matter the make or model of car you drive, you can rest assured that we utilise original or same standard parts, and we have a wide range of tools to get the job done at the highest standards.
