Timing Belt FAQ

Common questions about timing belt intervals and what’s included.

When should I replace my timing belt?

Intervals vary by vehicle, often between 90,000–160,000 km or by age. We’ll confirm the correct interval for your engine.

What happens if a timing belt breaks?

On many engines it can cause internal damage (valves/pistons). Replacing it on time helps prevent that.

Should I replace the water pump with the timing belt?

Often yes, depending on design. It can save labour later and improve reliability.

Is a timing chain the same as a timing belt?

No. Chains and belts are different systems with different service needs. We can tell you what your engine uses.

How long does timing belt service take?

It depends on the vehicle and access. We’ll give you a clear timeline when you book.
