What happens if i don't change it ?
In Seamus McGrath Garage we always advice you on what is best, as it is not only due on mileage it also can be due on time.
Let's get an understanding of what the timing belt actually does. A timing belt is a ribbed band of rubber and fiber that controls the timing of your engine's valve train. It connects the crankshaft with the camshaft and it is necessary for the operation of your engine. If your timing belt breaks, you'll be going nowhere fast.
In some engines, serious valve train damage can occur when a timing belt fails and this can be very costly to repair. Therefore, it is absolutely crucial to follow the timing belt replacement schedule recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Doing so will save you a lot of headache down the road.
It is important to check when your timing belt was last changed and if a replacement is due. Most timing belts need to be changed at 40,000 miles or 4 years, whichever comes first. To find out when it is due on your make & model call us 061 319 319, we will be happy to help.
