Ignoring your timing belt could be a costly mistake. If it fails, it could lead to serious engine damage that’s expensive to fix. At Moto-Oil Autocentre in Poole, we provide expert timing belt replacement services for all makes and models - keeping your car reliable and road-safe.

What Does a Timing Belt Do?

The timing belt - also known as the cambelt - keeps your engine’s camshaft and crankshaft turning in perfect harmony. It’s a crucial component that ensures your valves open and close at exactly the right time. If it snaps, your pistons can collide with the valves, leading to major engine failure.

When Should You Replace Your Timing Belt?

Most manufacturers recommend changing the timing belt between 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or every 5 to 7 years, depending on your vehicle. If you’re unsure when yours was last replaced, we can check for you and advise whether it’s due.

5 Warning Signs You Might Need a New Timing Belt

• Ticking or rattling noise from the engine
• Oil leaking from the front of the engine
• Engine misfiring or running rough
• Difficulty starting the car
• Check engine light is on

Keep in mind - timing belts often show no symptoms at all before failing. That’s why preventative replacement is key.
