Timing belts have replaced timing chains on many of today’s engines. Both belts and chains ensure that the crankshaft, pistons and valves operate together in proper sequence. Belts are lighter, quieter and more efficient that chains. Why replace the belt? Like other components, timing belts wear out. Proper maintenance requires belt replacement at regular intervals – before they break. Where are belts located? Timing belts are on the front of the engine protected by a plastic or metal cover.
When a timing belt breaks, the engine stops. Replace belts before this occurs. Most manufacturers provide a suggested service life and replacement schedule for this critical component.
Your vehicle manual may tell you, but you should ask your SLC auto repair technician – he will know for sure.
If the timing belt breaks on a free-running engine, the engine stops and you will need a tow to the repair shop. No mechanical damage occurs and the installation of a new belt is usually all that is needed to get you on your way.
If the timing belt breaks on an interference engine, mechanical damage occurs. It most commonly involves open valves being struck by pistons, resulting in the need for expensive repairs. In extreme cases, a replacement engine may be required.
