We encourage all our customers to request a cambelt inspection when scheduling their car service with us.​

​

Typically made from rubber, a cambelt (also known as a timing belt) plays a direct role in the opening and closing of the engine's valves. Engine valves enable fuel to enter the engine, where it ignites and produces exhaust. Subsequently, it is important that a cambelt operates in a smooth and efficient manner to keep the engine operating correctly.

​

How Often Should A Cambelt Be Replaced?

This will heavily depend on the type of cambelt, as well as the make and model and usage of your car. Most car manufacturers list their recommendations in your vehicles operating manual. Should you be unable to find this information,  you to call us today for advice on 0151 260 8080

What Happens If A Cambelt Breaks Or Fails?

A failing timing belt can cause serious and expensive engine damage, so it's important to address the issue promptly. When a cambelt snaps, it can cause major damage to both the valves and pistons of the engine. It can also damage other expensive components of the vehicle, which may lead to an entire engine replacement in extreme circumstances.
