Why Is It Important to Replace My Timing Belt?
If you aren't familiar with your vehicle's mechanical system, you might not understand the value of the timing belt. The timing belt is one of the most vital parts of your engine. Without a properly functioning timing belt, your vehicle can suffer significant damage, particularly to the engine and its other components.. The timing belt's primary responsibility is to control the camshafts and crankshafts in your car's engine. The camshaft controls the pistons, while the camshaft controls the valves. The valves are responsible for allowing air to enter the engine. If they can't, air does not flow into the engine properly, which can impair the engine's ability to burn fuel. If the pistons and valves knock against each other, the valves can quickly become damaged and worn. If that happens, you may face costly repairs. While you may get some warning signs in other parts of your vehicle that something is about to break, that is unlikely to occur with a timing belt. Instead, your car may suddenly stop working when you are driving, or it might fail to start in your driveway.
Timing Belt Replacement Service in Springfield
Since it's nearly impossible to tell when a timing belt might be going bad, preventative maintenance is considered the best remedy to avoid encountering problems. You should have the timing belt replaced according to the recommendations for your vehicle's make and model, which you can find in the owner's manual. Most manufacturers recommend replacing the timing belt about every 60,000 miles, while some vehicles can go up to 100,000 miles in between timing belt replacements. Alternatively, you can plan to replace the timing belt about every four or five years. If you need assistance scheduling repairs, don't hesitate to give our service department a call.
