The timing belt in your vehicle is a crucial component that keeps the engine running smoothly. Here are some signs that your timing belt may need to be replaced:

1. Engine misfires or runs poorly: If your engine is running rough or misfiring, it could be a sign that the timing belt is worn or damaged.
2. Ticking or clicking noises: A worn timing belt can cause ticking or clicking noises to come from the engine. This is due to the belt slipping or becoming loose.
3. Visible wear or damage: Inspect your timing belt for any visible signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or fraying. A damaged belt should be replaced immediately.
4. Difficulty starting: A worn timing belt can cause difficulty starting the engine, especially in cold weather.
5. Engine won’t start: If the timing belt breaks, the engine will not start at all. This is a serious issue that requires immediate attention.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your vehicle inspected by one of our skilled technicians. A worn timing belt can cause serious damage to your engine if left unchecked.

To simply put it; your Engine will not work without your Timing Belt. In order for your Timing Belt to work, your Crankshaft and Camshaft Rotation should live in harmony. With both parts linked properly, your Valves and Pistons will operate smoothly. This in turn allows the intake of air into the engine which then produces energy to start your vehicle. If your car is making a Clicking or Ticking noise, you could need a Timing Belt replacement.
