The timing belt is a major component of the modern combustion engine.

It’s designed to keep the camshaft and crankshaft timing in check, which allows the engine to run at maximum performance.

A timing belt is usually made of a composite of rubber and other materials and is located behind plastic protective covers at the front of the engine.

The timing belt, pulleys and tensioner that the belt runs on require replacement at specific manufacturer intervals.

Even if you’re not travelling the recommended distance, the timing belt, tensioner and idlers still need to be changed at yearly intervals. Failure to do so can lead to catastrophic engine failure.

On some vehicles, the water pump also runs off the timing belt, so it is important to inspect and replace it if it’s leaking or noisy.

As repairing the timing belt is a major task to undertake, the cost can be quite expensive. The cost will depend on your vehicle make and model, and whether you are replacing just the belt or a full kit. You could be looking anywhere between $500 - $800+.

It’s best to have a qualified mechanic carry out timing belt inspections, repairs and replacements.
