Your car’s timing system is designed to keep your camshaft belt and crankshaft running smoothly so that your engine doesn’t burn through fuel too quickly. Located under a timing cover, timing belts are a crucial component commonly made of high-quality rubber with nylon-reinforced cords.
Normally exposed to wear and tear gradually, if your timing belt suddenly breaks your car will shut down while driving, which can lead to catastrophic damage. Not all engines have a timing belt, though, as cars with larger bore engines will commonly use a timing chain system that replaces a rubber belt with a metal chain.
As your timing belt is located inside your car’s engine, it may not be possible to provide an exact repair cost until after related parts like your timing chain, fan belt, harmonic balancer, tensioner and idler pulley and timing cover oil seal have also been inspected. The size of the timing belt will also affect the price. They come in 9 standard sizes, which have a variety of different widths and lengths.
After this, your mechanic will show you an itemised quote of the work required and all associated costs before commencing. This keeps you in control of costs and will help you decide if repairing or replacing a part is the most cost-effective solution for the long term life of your vehicle.
