Warning Signs to Look For
Not sure if your car's cambelt is wearing out? Here are some of the main warning signs that can indicate it's time for a replacement:
- Squealing, ticking or other unusual noises coming from the engine
- Your car sounds louder or makes a weird noise when you start the engine
- Misfires while driving
- Difficulty starting the engine
- More exhaust smoke
Is My Cambelt Definitely to Blame?
The warning signs for cambelt failure can often overlap with symptoms of other problems.
To find out whether your timing belt is what's causing your car's poor performance, you can take a look under the bonnet at your car's belt - this is usually visible on the left-hand side of the main engine block.
Look for any of the following, which can indicate that your car's cambelt is failing:
- The smooth side of the belt is shiny
- There are cracks or fraying in the rubber
- Teeth are missing on the underside of the belt
Your cambelt can sometimes fail without much warning, so it pays to be proactive when it comes to maintenance.
Knowing what to look for and checking for these signs of failure every few months can go a long way to preventing a stressful breakdown, while giving you the confidence you need to book the right appointment at a local garage to get the problem fixed.
You can sort your car's cambelt repair out in less than 60 seconds, relying on reviews from fellow customers to steer you towards your new favourite garage.
Feels good to sort things out early, doesn’t it? Book now and be the savvy driver you deserve to be, knowing you're saving yourself from a more expensive repair later down the line.
