Timing Belts (Cambelts) – St Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings

Cambelts: Protecting Your Engine with Expert Care at Modern & Classic Garage Services

Your cambelt, also known as the timing belt, is an essential component of your vehicle’s engine. It keeps the camshaft and crankshaft perfectly synchronised, ensuring that the engine’s valves open and close at the right time. Without it, your engine simply wouldn’t run. At Modern & Classic Garage Services in St Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings, we’re experienced in cambelt inspections and replacements, and can keep your engine running smoothly.

Why Cambelt Care is Crucial

Cambelts are made from durable materials, but they don’t last forever. Over time, wear and tear can cause the belt to weaken or even snap, leading to severe engine damage. A failed cambelt can result in bent valves, damaged pistons, and costly repairs that could have been avoided with regular car maintenance.

The key to avoiding these issues is replacing your cambelt at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals, typically between 40,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on your vehicle. Warning signs of a worn cambelt include ticking noises from the engine, difficulty starting, or a lack of power while driving.
