A timing belt (often referred to as a cam belt) is an essential part of the workings of the engine. It keeps the top and bottom sections of your vehicle in working order and synchronisation. It’s important that the timing belt stays in good condition as it’s what keeps your vehicle running smoothly. As a timing belt is often made out of rubber, it can lose its tension over a period of time.
Due to its rubber material, often the belt will snap. This is because it’s constantly being exposed to the heat around the engine, and rotating at a fast pace. A timing belt is expected to last up to 5 years, or 60,000 miles. If your timing belt does snap, it needs to be re-fitted to remain in a perfect synchronisation with the other engine parts.
