Timing belt failure can happen without warning.
Don’t let it cost you your engine!
Your car’s timing belt (also called a cambelt) keeps the engine’s valves and pistons moving in perfect sync. If it fails, the engine stops instantly, often causing severe internal damage that could cost thousands to repair.
The problem? Timing belts don’t give you a warning before they snap. That’s why most manufacturers recommend replacing it between 40,000 and 100,000 miles or every 4 to 6 years—whichever comes first.
If you’re not sure when your timing belt was last changed, get it checked now. Waiting too long is a gamble most drivers regret.
How do I know when to change my timing belt?
Not sure if your timing belt is due for replacement? Here’s a simple rule:
-
Your car has over 40,000 miles? Get it checked.
-
Bought a used car with no service history? Don’t risk it—replace the belt.
-
Not sure if it’s ever been changed? It’s safer to replace it now than wait for failure.
A timing belt failure can cause catastrophic engine damage, leading to expensive repairs—or even a complete engine replacement.

Are there warning signs before a timing belt breaks?
Timing belts often fail without warning, but in some cases, you may notice early symptoms before disaster strikes. If you experience any of the following, your belt may already be worn or loose:
-
Clicking or rattling noises from the engine – A sign of a worn-out or misaligned belt.
-
Engine misfires or rough idling – The belt may be slipping, affecting timing.
-
Difficulty starting the car – A failing belt may not be turning the engine properly.
-
Oil leaks near the timing cover – Leaking oil can weaken and damage the belt.
-
Loss of power or sluggish acceleration – The timing may be off due to belt wear.
If you notice any of these warning signs, don’t risk waiting—book a timing belt check at CabCo Garage today!
