The Timing Belt, or Cam Belt as it is often known is one of, if not the most critical component on a modern engine.

​

In layman's terms the Timing Belt is the rubber band that drives all of the critical engine components, and if it were to break during normal engine operation the results can be catastrophic and could cost hundreds, if not thousands of pounds to put right.

​

At Auto Centre Derby our trained technicians can provide a free cam belt check. They can help identify if a replacement belt is required, this can be particularly useful if you were to buy a vehicle that has no service history.

​

The Timing Belt change interval varies from vehicle to vehicle, we also recommend you take age in to account as a low mileage car may need to replace the belt earlier than recommended as other factors, such as adverse weather can deteriorate and perish the belt over time.
