TIMING BELT REPLACEMENTS

TIMING BELT REPLACEMENTS

The timing belt is critical to the operation of your vehicle.

• Timing belts fail without warning and on some vehicles, are almost as hard to check as they are to change. In most cases, your only protection is to change the belt at the recommended intervals.
• Timing belt replacement intervals vary by vehicle manufacturer, but typically range from every 60,000 miles to every 100,000 miles.
• On vehicles that have the water pump driven by the timing belt, most technicians may recommend that you replace the water pump during a timing belt job even if there is nothing wrong with it. This is because 90% of the labor to change the water pump has already been done with the timing belt job.
