A timing belt that fails could lead to other serious engine failures and damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix. Information on the replacement of a timing belt can be beneficial for automobile owners.

Identification

There are certain things that can help you to identify problems with your timing belt. Being aware of new sounds coming from your engine can be helpful. An engine that makes scraping noises is often a sign that a timing belt is worn and in need of replacement.

Replace

In order to replace a timing belt, certain parts need to be removed ahead of time, such as fan belts and timing covers. Also, some vehicles require that you replace the water pump when replacing the timing belt.

A timing belt is made partly of rubber and will wear out naturally over time. As a result, estimated intervals for replacement are about every 75,000 miles.
