How often does the timing belt need replacing?
Both timing belt and chain can wear out. A loose timing chain can result in poor running, valve clatter, and loss of power, while a broken timing belt can cause your engine to stop running or, on an interference application, cause your valves to crash into your pistons.
Timing belts fail without warning and on some vehicles, are almost as hard to check as they are to change. In most cases, your only protection is to change the belt at the recommended intervals. The timing belt should also be inspected at every oil change for evidence of abnormal wear and tear. Your vehicle owner's manual will recommend at what mileage the timing belt must be replaced. These intervals range from every 60,000 miles to every 105,000 miles. Timing belt replacement is not cheap, but it is extremely important nonetheless.
when the timing belt breaks on a 1995 Mazda 626 does it make the engine or motor go out
do you have the timing chain marks for a 1993 Chevy Cavalier? My husband just put a new timing chain on and new gears but now the car is backfiring.
The timing belt went out in my 99 Passat and for the life of me it is a royal pain to work on, Ive taken off the entire front end of the car except for the radiatior. The space is very tight if you dont. The timing belt is well hidden so make sure you have plenty of room to move around to get to it.
