Timing Belt Replacement in Blantyre
On engines that use one, the timing belt (cambelt) keeps the engine's internals in step. If it snaps, many engines suffer serious internal damage. Replacing it on your manufacturer's schedule is one of the most important bits of maintenance on a car.
Why us
Timing belt replacement, done right
Timing belts are replaced by age as well as mileage, because rubber degrades even on a car that is not driven much. We check your manufacturer's interval for your exact engine and replace the belt with the related parts that should be changed at the same time, often the tensioner, idlers and, where it is driven by the belt, the water pump. Not every engine has a belt: many use a timing chain instead, and we can tell you which yours has.

FAQ
Timing belt replacement questions
How often should a timing belt be changed?
It depends on the engine. Manufacturers set an interval by age and mileage, whichever comes first. Give us your registration and we will check the interval for your car.
Does my car have a timing belt or a chain?
Some engines use a belt and others use a chain. Chains are designed to last longer but are not always maintenance-free. We can tell you which your engine has.
Why replace the water pump at the same time?
On many engines the water pump is driven by the timing belt and sits behind the same covers, so replacing it at the same time avoids paying the labour twice if it fails later.
