Is it Actually My Cambelt That Needs Replacing?
There are a few tell-tale signs that your cambelt is knackered and needs replacing.
- Squealing, ticking or other unusual noise coming from the engine
- Your car may sound louder or make a weird noise when you start the engine, known as rough idling
- Misfires while driving
- Difficulty getting the engine to start
- More exhaust smoke than usual
However, some of these are symptoms of other problems as well. To determine whether your timing belt is to blame for your car’s poor performance, pop the bonnet and look at your belt (usually visible on the left-hand side of the main engine block) for the following:
- The smooth side of the belt is shiny, known as glazing
- Any cracks or fraying in the rubber
- Missing teeth on the underside of the belt
If you spot any of these, your problem is likely caused by a failing cambelt, and you will need to book a replacement as soon as possible.
Sometimes your cambelt can fail without much warning. Knowing what to look for and checking for these visual 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.
My Vehicle Doesn’t Have a Timing Belt?
Some vehicles are fitted with a timing chain instead, which looks like a bicycle chain. This can still be found on the left-hand side of the engine block and usually lasts longer than a cambelt (usually around 120,000 miles).
Unless you’ve noticed a terrible clattering or rattling noise, misfires while driving or find metal shavings in the oil, if your car hasn’t covered anywhere near that many miles, your timing chain might not be to blame.
In this instance, we recommend booking a general repair appointment at a local garage and providing as much detail as possible about your problem to help them recommend the right repair.
