How does the cambelt work?

Your vehicle’s cambelt, also known as a timing belt, is a vital component of the engine. It is used to drive the camshaft off of the crankshaft which operates the valves of the engine. It’s made from rubber, which means it can suffer from daily wear and tear and eventually can break if not replaced as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.

What happens when the cambelt breaks?

If the cambelt is not replaced at the right intervals, it can break which causes major engine damage. A broken cambelt throws the valve timing off course, which can destroy valves in the cylinder head of the engine. This sort of damage can be quite expensive to repair, so it’s always best to get regular maintenance and servicing to avoid this from happening.

When does my cambelt need replacing?

Every car is different, so it’s best to check your manufacturer’s handbook for the best time to replace your cambelt. Usually, your cambelt is checked during your regular service and your service history should be kept up to date so that it can be easily identified when a cambelt needs to be replaced. If you happen to notice that your cambelt is showing signs of damage before the recommended replacement schedule, you should get it replaced to avoid further damage to your engine.

Signs that your cambelt may need repairs or replacements include grinding or squeaking coming from the engine compartment or that your car will not start which happens when the belt has broken. It can be really dangerous to drive with a damaged belt, so please take every precaution to get your belt inspected when you can.
